Good News for fans of the Opera Mini web browser for BlackBerry. Opera will soon be releasing version 4.1 beta. It SHOULD be available for download with he next 24 hours from OperaMini.com.

New Features include:
Now 50% Faster! Browser your favorite Web sites even faster than before!
Download and upload files Update your blog, add attachments to e-mail and download content directly to Opera Mini without using the native mobile browser.
Autocomplete URLs Opera Mini will automatically suggest URL completions, making address input easy and intuitive.
Save pages Make the most of offline time by saving Web pages for later viewing.

These new features are looking great. Especially the fact you'll be able to download files within Opera Mini (without it launching the BB browser). Of course, the one feature still missing is the ability to set Opera Mini as your BB's default browser to begin with.
