Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Micro SD card

Step 1

Insert a micro SD card into the phone's SD slot. The size is not that important, though I recommend at least 1 GB
Step 2

Open your regular BlackBerry Browser and put http://www.operamini.com/download/wap/ in the address bar.
Step 3

Select your phone type and model.
Step 4

Download the program to your SD card when prompted and answer "yes" to all the installation questions.
Step 5

Select your preferences and you'll be ready to browse.

Tips & Warnings

Most BlackBerries support Opera version 4, which has a feature which allows you to import your bookmarks from the BlackBerry browsers.
Opera does not work on BREW-enabled phones, including those on the Verizon network.
