So, as a sizable bit of the speed improvement when using opera mini comes from the compression of websites on the opera turbo servers, why go through the trouble of emulating a mobile phone to run opera mini?
just download the regular opera browser and push the “turbo” button – it’s the same thing. oh, and maybe push the next button in the row as well and deactivate images while you’re at it

I do have a friend who knows and had some one working for the local MS tricking the ports … the browsers seemed more like Internet Download Manageer working … didn’t get what he did, but everything is pretty faster … much faster …

Excellent! Commenting right now from this method opera mini using this method.
However wanted to add that, there wasn’t a jad file in the download that you povided (only the jar was present) and Opera mini 5 had problems when I resized the emulator.
Also this will come in need: For left-soft key and right-soft key (in a mobile) the keyyboard short-cuts are F1 and F2

@Richie S., Content updated in the link . Opera mini.jad is now added in the dowload. You should resize emulator first and then load opera mini in the emulator. Thank you for your comment!

Very useful trick. Thanks.

Nice trick, but I dont get the idea behind this, can the speed be increased because Opera uses its own proxy server?

I never knew that we can use the Mobile Browser for the PC. I think there are sites and Mozilla Firefox add-ons which disable JavaScript and Flash loading to help us in accessing Heavy websites at a faster rate.

hmm… must give it a try… thanks for the post bro!

January 15th, 2010 at 8:41 pm
@Hakimy, the jar file has nokia pc suite on it – what does it mean? Nokia pc suite is nowhere talked about. Can you be more manifest

@Ramkumar, Opera mini squeezes webpages greatly. Other such services are skweezer.com but still using opera mini would prove better on pc.

January 18th, 2010 at 3:14 am
Right click on the file, select open with then browse to where you installed the java program.On my vista laptop it’s @ C/program files/java/jre6/bin. in this folder select either javaw.exe or java.exe to open the file. I hope this helps
