Opera Mini and how it accesses the camera phone or file system
I am in the process of trying to set up my Motorola Z3 RIZR phone to allow me to photo blog. I've been trying to do this either via Opera Mini 3.1.2 feature that allows you to click on a file input field on a webpage and access the phone's internal camera or by Opera 4.1 beta's feature that let's you choose a file from your phone's file system.
I've taken all the RSA stuff off my phone and hypothetically all my java applications should have access to both the camera phone and the file system, but when I browse to a page to upload a photo (I've been trying both m.flckr.com and my own coppermine based photo gallery. So far I still cannot access these input fields in Opera.
Why I'm posting this in the Dev forum is that I was hoping someone here could give me a more specific idea of what feature or whatnot on my phone Opera Mini needs to have access to to allow me to perform one of the above operations. Is there something I need to tell Opera Mini so it knows I have these features or does it check for them automatically, and if so, is that at starting the app or just when it installs.
Please help.

According to this page:
http://developer.motorola.com/products/handsets/motorizrz3/The Motorola Z3 supports JSR-135 (can access the built-in camera) and JSR-75 for file management. If I understand correctly, these are the proper Java protocols required to access the camera on OM 3.1.2 and the file system in OM 4.1 beta, respectively. Do I correctly understand this?
So what does one have to do to tell Opera Mini that such functions are available? I've tried reinstalling them in hopes that perhaps it could find them during the installation process, but I still seem to be lacking these features.
Could someone please tell me what I'm missing here?

M/B you would be better off with your questions in the 'Opera Mini' forum, nevertheless...

If you agree, some good-willing mod could move it?

Some phones that support JSR-75 do it so badly that the Mini team have removed the option.
Another possibility is that your phone doesn't implement all of it. Reading these two pages :
http://developer.motorola.com/products/handsets/motorizrz3/http://developer.sonyericsson.com/site/global/techsupport/tipstrickscode/java/p_jsr75_accessing_pim_fileconnectionapi.jspit looks as though your phone supports JSR 75 but only for reading the phone's 'Personal Information Management' database, not the file system.

I had a similar thread in the Opera Mini forum but no one ever responded. I thought I'd try posting here because I figured those in the dev forum would have a better knowledge of the technical side of things.

Hmmm, well how about the camera function for 3.1.2?
Thanks for your response, btw.
