8525 Browser Does Not Have Full HTML Capability
Saturday, 6:23 PM EDT
I discovered that the 8525 and most likely all other Smartphones except the iPhone have very limited HTML display capability. I want to be able to see my homepage at my.att.yahoo.com as I would see it on my desktop or wife's iPhone. Is there a patch, hack or browser that I could download to the phone? Do you find this valuable?

You can download Opera Mini here:

http://www.operamini.com/

This gives you full page rendering and is free. Keep in mind, all mobile browsers, iPhone included, have limitations. Most do not handle flash or Java well.

I tried to download the opera mini 4 and when I got to the "installing MIDlet" page I get this message: "Unable to retrieve the JAR file. The URL does not appear to be valid: My Documents\mini.jar"

Got any suggestions?

Did you open this link from your 8525? Try it that way and it should work. Do you find this valuable?

Yes I did the download from the 8525. I finally installed it and it does work. It put the program in the MIDlet Program and I can open it from there.

Do you have any idea as how to make this my default browser?
