Opera Mini 5 Beta Browser- Absolutely awesome!

So I've been testing out this new Opera mini 5 beta browser for the past couple of days and it's just amazing!

Comparing it to the native Symbian browser is a waste of time because Opera beats it in all aspects. Take a look below at the features I found most useful:
  1. Visualized saved bookmarks on the Home page like in Google Chrome.
  2. Multi tabbed browsing, with no hindrance in performance with open tabs.
  3. Uses it's own keyboard, which is so easy to use compared to the mini qwerty in symbian. In the video I am using my fingers to type and as you can see it's very fast and effective.
  4. Fast scrolling and browsing.
  5. I am sure there's more but I haven't probably discovered them!
Take a look at the preview video.

Need your help/opinion regarding file hosting!

Hello all,

I truly apologize for putting you guys through Ziddu.com to download the files. It has countless horrendous popups and scripts that try to waste your time with unnecessary clicks.

So I've decided to change where I host the uploaded files from here on. The 2 that I've narrowed down to are the following:
  1. Mediafire - Clean interface, no waiting time and one click downloads.
  2. Uploading - Clean interface, 30 sec waiting time but for every 1000 downloads I get $20.
For the next few posts, I'll upload files to both Uploading and Mediafire. Try them both and please use the poll on the right to guide my choice.

Thanks for your loyal visits!

NaviMachine, a Compass app for Nokia 5800.

Now I was seriously bummed out when I found out that the Nokia N97 had a built-in compass and the Nokia 5800 didn't.

To use, just point towards the sun and it will show you the bearings. I agree it's not the coolest of apps, but if lost in the jungles this app sure would be useful.
