Default Opera Mini, Mobile question.

I've been looking for a broswer that acts like Safari (you see the whole page, and then click to zoom in, etc....) Opera Mini does this, but I can't download files from it, and I always have to start java, etc.....Mobile doesn't seem to do the same thing (whole page, like Safari).....are there any browser that will duplicate what Safari/Opera Mini do, and still allow downloading, etc....??? Or does Opera Mobile have that hidden away in it's settings somewhere? I'm not really looking for favorites or opinions, just the function of opening a full page on my screen, then clicking to zoom in to a part.....
thanks in advance!

Theres a lot of Opera Mini stuff in the link in my sig, I've not read it all, but the mod who wrote it is an expert on Opera Mini and Java.

EDIT:
BTW you can now download files in Opera mini 4.1 beta
Quote:
Download and upload files

On phones with JSR-75, you can now upload and download files using Opera Mini 4.1 beta, without being re-routed to your phone’s native browser. Update your blog while on the go. Upload photos to your web site or social network. Add attachments easily to web-based email, and download other non media-rich content to your phone using Opera Mini 4.1 beta.
Thanks

Normally I use Cloudyfa_EsmertecJbed (Cab in the Opera Mini Link).

At the Moment Sleuth's ROM has it cooked in version:
Esmertec Jbed Build ID: 20070726.1.1

Thanks

Opera mini is a super fast browser but some of it's functionality is scaled down. In general, you should be able to download from mini... but not as robust as others.

IMO Opera 9.5 (official version not released yet) is very promising. It has a very good download manager, browses similar to Opera Mini and is much more robust in terms of overall browser functionality, certificates, etc. It's worth a look. It's beta is all over this board if you do a search.
