I'll have to put Opera on my wife's phone:) and try it. I don't have the openwave browser, but downloaded the v7 emulator and have had good luck with complex sites, have read my email on gmail etc. I'll try Opera in the morning.
Just an intersting note from Mobile Tracker http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2005/11/10/l g-vx9800-review...Opera Mobile requires between 3 and 4 MBs of RAM. This device does not set aside that much RAM for the browser. And if it had more RAM, I am sure the included browser would run better anyway.
As for Opera Mini, its abilities are WORSE than the version of the Openwave browser included in this phone: version 6.2.3.2. Opera Mini is a very scaled-down mini-browser (even centering text doesn't work) where all the rendering is done on a special server (that Verizon does not support), so even if you had Java in the phone, it would still not work for you, and if it did, rendering quality wouldn't be as good as the included browser's.
So, if Verizon listens to their customers, their providers (OEMs) will have to move their butt and will have to use a more modern browser. Openwave has it ready for them (version 7.1 of their browser that does a whole lot more, in exchange to more RAM usage, naturally). But until consumers like you complain to Verizon, *nothing is going to change* and LG and others will STILL ship new phones with 2-year old browsers.
The power is on your cellphone to start with. Call Verizon, call Sprint, call T-Mobile, call Cingular, and let them know. And while you are at it, tell them to minimize GPRS rates too cause I just blew another $3 today.;-)
If per processor licensing ever does go away, it will probably be replaced by some other insidious evil. Imagine having to run a program provided by Oracle that calculates the MIPS of your system...

Guess I should have read the thread better myself.

I remember seeing papers before 1997 that described a unistroke alphabet. The internet is full of them.

I've used Illustrator before, but will never again. I'm also going to start looking for better digital ink solutions other than Acrobat.
