this phone is great it looks slick and holds great.
but is true any java applications are terrible and browsing facebook is also very very poor

This phone looks great and is great to hold... but performance is poor and when working with Java applications even worse. I wouldn't recommend buying this phone to anyone.
Take my word for it.

Jo, 23 Nov 2008Usman: Which is better-Operam Mini 1.27 or 4.2 beta?Still, Opera Mini 1.27 modified version is better than 4.2 beta.
With 1.27 modified version, you can create OM skin (with every possible color), save as a skin (.col) file (less than 1KB size) on card, import other skin files, import/ export bookmarks as (.htm) file. I have saved 196 bookmarks in Opera Mini 1.27 with many sub folders (and every sub-folder has more sub-folders) and exported these bookmarks as htm file (34KB size only) to memory card.
With 1.27 modified version, you can play sound (.amr) files, read text (.txt) files, view JPG images (fullscreen) directly from memory card, delete single entry from history, open multiple web pages/ supported files using tabs (as in PC browsers), select any link and open in new tab etc. I had successfully loaded 10 web pages simultaneously in 10 tabs and browser speed was still OK.
All above things are IMPOSSIBLE in official 4.2 beta version but there are some features which are absent in 1.27 version like better video streaming (from sites like YouTube), zoom feature, PC-like browsing, syncronize bookmarks/ notes from PC browsers etc.
With 1.27 modified version, you can save web pages in every folder of internal/ external memory of mobile while 4.2 beta official version can save web pages in ONE folder only which is a major disadvantage!
Both versions have some advantages/ disadvantages but 4.2 beta version has more disadvantages. I have uninstalled 4.2 beta version from my Samsung E200 and now I am using 1.27 modified version only.
Today, I have uploaded 5 new skins of Opera Mini on my website. Page link is:

Previous version 1.5 was working fine on my Samsung E200 mobile (both E200 and D900 have almost same JAVA compatibility). But I uninstalled it to free some space for other JAVA softwares. Now I have found another old one Samsung compatible version 1.0. You can download GMail 1.0 and Google Maps 2.0.1 official version (not unofficial GMaps) from this page :

Top left key (menu)
2 (Phonebook)
8 (Management)
2 (copy all)
2 (to sim)
Top left key (options)
1 (copy)
This should do it - I think the previous postings about sequence missed out the (options) key at the end.
cheers

Hey, Ive tried to install Gmail and Google Maps on my phone, but hey are not working. But its Java based, and the D900 supports that.
The error I get is:
Misstake in Jave app.
What could I do to install it.
Ive tried to download it from the internet and then it doesnt work. Ive tried it to install it through USB.
Installed it on my memory card.
What else can I try?
