I installed the new Opera Mini 5 Beta on my Treo Pro via the Esmertec Jbed java and the d-pad does not function. Opera mini 4.2 works just fine with d-pad but not version 5.

Mini 5 beta only works on my Pro via the touch screen. Any clues anyone?

I am having many issues with Beta 5.0. No Sync, Settings are buried in one of the tabs, Slow rendering pages and more. On the Treo no D pad, on the BB no Berry button functions. I'm deleting it. Its crap, I'll wait for final release.

For me, it is not crap. Font rendering at last is readable. It is quicker than Bolt and it loads really quick, quicker than 4.2

It is a pain to just use the touchpad, but I know it is a beta version and things will improve. But finally they got the font rendering right.

I'm very disappointed at how touch-oriented OM5 is (albeit in beta).

I was just hoping for was a multi-tabbed OM4.

I don't have a problem with how "touch-oriented" it is. It's only normal that they made it like that, since almost all phones these days and in the near future are "touch" phones without physical keyboard or d-pads. But they should make it (hopefully in later releases) possible to ALSO work with D-Pads along with the touch thing. Because other than that it is a great browser, much better than OM4 in my opinion.

BTW, I ended up uninstalling it because of this no-d-pad issue. Touch-only apps are not very funny to deal with on the Treo Pro. If they decide to "enable" d-pads in future versions, I will gladly install and use it again.
