smooth install on Nokia E61
by j.do December 9, 2006 5:23 AM PST
OM3 installed without a hitch on the Nokia E61. Its best feature is the RSS reader, which is way superior to the reader included in the default Web browser on the E61 (or E62). Although the default Web browser is better overall than OM3, the default RSS reader is an unusable piece of software.

Opera Mini on Palm Tungsten T5
by BKMiller December 9, 2006 12:39 PM PST
I thought I'd give Opera Mini a try to see if it handled browsing better than the Balzer app on my T5. Unfortunately, after installing the necessary supporter app, launching Opera only gave me a "Fatal Error" message, requiring a reboot of my T5. I'd love to try it again, but unless there's a fix for that - no go.
