A pretty basic Nokia 3510i landed in my hands and I thought, well I might as well try it. I downloaded Opera Mini (the lo-fi version), and within a minute or two I was up and running. Rendering was more than adequate for checking out sites, and once I&#39;d figured out that you use the &#39;call&#39; key for triggering links (I&#39;m generally hopeless with phones), navigation was straightforward as well. <\/p>\n<p>Natch, the rendering can&#39;t match what Opera Mini can deliver on my Palm T|C. That&#39;s truly stunning as you can see here, but given the basic limitations of the Nokia I was very impressed:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/11\/bbcoperamini1811.jpg\" alt=\"bbcoperamini1811\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/11\/bbcoperamini1811.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/11\/bbcoperamini1811-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#39;m also playing around with the latest version of Documents to Go on the Palm. Version 8 reads native pdf files. Previously there was a clunky &#8211; and basically unsatisfactory &#8211; adobe conversion routine that generated a pseudo-pdf file for the Palm. There was considerable loss of detail, and very poor treatment of embedded material. Plus it required a desk-top conversion and hot-sync to get the file on to the handheld. It worked, but only just and I very rarely bothered to use it. Now I can just open real pdf&#39;s that are emailed in. They look great, render really well, and on the T|C open at a very decent speed (faster than my desktop by some distance!).<\/p>\n<p>So a bit of a techie day all told&#8230; until I saw who was waiting outside the back door tonight.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/11\/1811002sm.jpg\" alt=\"1811002sm\" width=\"450\" height=\"403\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/11\/1811002sm.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/11\/1811002sm-300x268.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,1],"tags":[30],"class_list":["post-554","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-foxes","category-uncategorized","tag-operamini","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/554","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=554"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/554\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=554"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=554"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=554"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
