Opera Mini and Opera mini next have been very popular with Nokia Symbian, Google Android and even Microsoft Windows mobile smart phone and devices.
Recently, I purchased a blackberry Q10 device at a giveaway price (promo still on) and decided to play around it for fun and hidden tweaks.
One thing I noticed about the Blackberry 10 built-in browser is that it is light years ahead of its predecessor and have great support for JavaScript and media files.
But then, I needed something lighter, faster and less-intrusive to get access to nairaland and similar website and to cut pop-ups and all those annoying behavior with most websites.
To my uttermost surprise, there isn’t any opera mini for blackberry 10 on the Blackberry App world or even a molded opera mini next for blackberry 10 on other mobile download websites.
So today’s article is focused on sharing the latest version of Opera mini apk for blackberry 10 smartphones such as Blackberry Q5, BlackBerry Porsche (P’9983), Blackberry Q10, BlackBerry Passport, Blackberry Z10, Blackberry Z3, Blackberry Z30, Blackberry Q20 Classic and BlackBerry Leap.
