    Works like a charm.
    Now I can save a lot of bandwith.

    Thank you very much!

    Thank you for putting this up. I found a couple of issues when trying it but it is mainly around getting the right versions. Once loaded it definately makes a difference – I would say between 50% and 80% bandwidth saving in the tests I did. I have included this link in a Top 10 Tips for Low Bandwidth Internet Management article at http://mainstreamingict.org/?p=104

  • tim said: on # 1 November 2009.

    I got stuck at the “execute it” bit of “Double-click microemulator.jar and execute it.”

  • tim said: on # 1 November 2009.

    I figured it out. Just had to right click the jar file in xp and select the java thingy to open it.

    Is there any possible way to download files or view flash files through opera mini? Tried downloading some file but never got it working
    I get something like:
    “MIDlet requests that the device handle the following URL”

  • Kaycee said: on # 5 April 2010.

    Does opera mini need anyother internet connection to work on the pc?

  • Abu Md. Raihan said: on # 12 May 2010.

    @william; overlook the third step. Then u will have a mobile like thing on the screen. Use the ok button there.@Darkol; probably there is none as it shows u r using mobile but really not.@Kaycee; No, it’s not needed.@Rahul;u can try configuring the opera mini settings as http connection from socket.@chris; follow the information given for Rahul. Mine worked.@Taiye toyin; probably u haven’t downloaded java runtime environment, search it from google and then follow the steps in this post.

  • Abu Md. Raihan said: on # 12 May 2010.

    @william; sorry. It would be fourth step
