Check if it happens for all sites, in which case you probably want to check your internet connection settings.

The screen is larger so it can fit more text on it, and its just as awesome as on the 6280 :-) It takes a bit more time to get it to start then the Symbian native Opera version, but not by a lot, and for short browsing sessions its much nicer to use then either the builtin browser or the Symbian Opera version.

Apparently you get a different browser for each handset: the application is still called Opera Mini version 1.2, but its much smaller (63KB while the version installed on the 6280 is 100KB) and it has a bit different user interface: * The settings page is smaller with much less options. * No smooth scrolling * The "select" key is '*' instead of the directional selector which is not available on the older handset. * There is no chrome at all: the API for j2me (MIDP/1.0, I think?) doesn't let you use one, so you get an "Opera Mini" title at the top and the bottom always have the multi-key assignments. Its also a bit slower and less responsive then on the 6280, but its still plainly much better then the builtin browser and is good enough. I would use it if I had a 6100.
