The new beta of Opera Mini is here :D

Know More/Download Opera Mini 4.2 Beta


New in Opera Mini 4.2 beta :

Skins

Personalize Opera Mini by choosing a new colorful skin. We have reintroduced the popular skinning feature from Opera Mini 3.

Performance

Opera Mini 4.2 can use our newly established server park in the US. This means significantly faster page downloads for our users in the Americas and Asia-Pacific region. Users in the rest of the world will also experience faster page downloads since we’ve reduced the load on our other servers.

Video

We are working to make video content available on more phones through Opera Mini. If you have a new Sony Ericsson or Nokia phone, the chance is high that you can take Opera Mini for a spin on m.youtube.com.

Sync your Notes

The handy Notes functionality from the Opera Desktop Web browser just got more portable through Opera Link. All of your notes are available in Opera Mini directly from the Bookmarks menu.

4.2 is much better than 4.1 imho. Nice skins & speed is definitely faster.
Also i was having problems logging into some sites (even this forum), but some of it is fixed in this new one( hopefully it will be much better in the final 4.2 version).

Surprisingly, I did not notice even a minor speed improvement. It feels same as 4.1.

Speed has only increased in the processing time, not the download speed.
And its only beta now, maybe not fully compatible with all the supported phones.

so if you expect download speed depends on the browser..you are a noob..the browser will reduce the processing time only..
for me 4.2 connects much faster..

No I didn't mean download speed.
But I didn't found any improvement in processing speed either.
