Opera Mini is a great little browser for your cell phone. If you’re a T-Mobile user, you will have some problems since Opera Mini wants to access it’s proxy on port 80. T-Mobile’s WAP browser uses port 8080 and Web Sessions are closed on T-Mobile phones. Time for a little hacking to get things moving. First thing you’ll need to do is hop onto Google and download a copy of P2KTools and decompress it. After you have done that, follow these steps:

1. Connect your phone to your computer, and as the computer locates the new hardware, direct it to the drv directory in P2KTools for drivers.
2. Execute P2KTools.exe.
3. Click on the arrow next to Switch To and select P2K Mode.
4. Click Connect.
5. Select the Seem Editor tab.
6. Under the Seem section, look for seem and rec and make sure the seem reads 0032 and rec reads 0001.
7. Select Read From Phone.
8. Click on byte 2F.
9. Under the Bit operations section, under the 1, check the checkbox.
10. Select Write To Phone.
11. Click Restart to restart your phone.
12. On your phone, go to Office Tools and select Web Access.
13. Select Web Sessions.
14. Create a new web session with the following info:

Set the new web session as your default and open Opera Mini to check if it is connecting to the internet. If your Opera Mini still doesn’t work, go back to the newly created Web Session and select Launch.
