Opera Mobile for the Samsung Blackjack

There is a beta version of Opera Mobile available that works on the Samsung Blackjack. Opera is a web browser thats an alternative to the built in internet explorer on the phone. I found in general that it works pretty well although so far I am still sticking with IE for simplicity. Overall though Opera mobile seems to do a better job of displaying some of the trickier page and has a lot of cool features that beat internet explorer.

Some of the features in the version of Opera that runs on the blackjack include:

* Multiple Windows
* Web search in address bar
* Save image
* Copy text
* Send link as e-mail, SMS, and MMS
* Import IE bookmarks
* Zoom
* Download
* Navigation and history
* Bookmarks
* Landscape/Portrait Mode
* Pop-up handler
* Padlock icon on secure sites
* User preferences
* Context menu
* Change encoding
* Desktop mode and Fit to Screen
* Plugin API (Netscape)

One thing I have noticed on the Blackjack is there does not seem to be enough memory to run both IE and Opera. If for some reason you have trouble opening Opera make sure to close IE and any other program you are running that takes up a lot of memory. Also remember that in windows mobile programs don't just close. You need to close them using the task manager to make sure they are no longer running.
