Hello, guys.
This is my first post.
For months and months now, I have been wanting to get Opera Mini and Google's Gmail app working on my Samsung i730. I've tried every midlet manager I've ever heard of, including multiple versions of IBM's, and not a single one has ever worked.
Scratch that, an old version of IBM's would install Gmail and get as far as the login screen, then crash every time. It would install and run Opera Mini, very slowly, crappily, with no soft key support and no actual page loading.
I just found a midlet manager that A.)works on i730, B.) runs Opera Mini and Gmail app perfectly, and faster than any other application of any kind on this phone, and C.) can be downloaded HERE, from this post.
I don't want to say where I got this, because I think it's likely that either I will get in trouble or the person who originally posted it will. I don't think there are any issues with legality, personally, because the zipfile of the cab was posted free and clear on a free-registration open Internet message board, and I think the person who did it probably knows enough about what they're doing not to have done that if it wasn't wise.
So, here it is. Download the zipfile attached to this post. Install it. Fire up Pocket IE and visit
Gmail. Click the link, and WATCH THE MIDLET MANAGER AUTOMATICALLY DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL IT CORRECTLY. Visit
www.operamini.com/download and watch it do the same.
Fire up Opera Mini and watch it outperform every other browser ever made for Windows Mobile in speed and ease-of-use, with perfect soft keys, five-way navigation keys and keyboard support. Gasp over the iPhone-like full page/zoomed in view.
Weep for your new-found fortune in finding and installing the best midlet manager I've ever seen, the only one I've ever found to work flawlessly on the i730.
Yours truly,
