I've been able to do some limited internet browsing with this phone. I have some friends who use another carrier (Sprint) who were able to download the Opera Mini browser and use it on their phones. I've tried to download this same program, no such luck. Anyone else have any experiences with trying to get a similar application to work? Any feedback is much appreciated. 😁

this looks interesting...

the only advantage i see to this browser is the 'quick' ability to convert html pages to WAP.
Google Mail links can basically do the same but you must have all the links ready for you to access when you use the 9800 to go to a link.

doing it the google way is not a problem for me, as google knows when a mobile device is accessing it and will display its WAP version for you. which is Freaking nice.

If you want, just create a separate email to yourself with ALL your favorites, and use gmail to load them up each time and they will come out a joy!

**oh yeah the Opera Mini Browser will never work for LG VX9800, the LG uses BREW not JAVA. so yeah. just learned that...

stick with openwave. Its not the best, but for a mobile phone, if you use gmails link-wap convertor type thing, it is bearable..

Thanks for the info...too bad that Opera Mini won't work. I'll try the Gmail WAP conversion thing and see how that works.
