Password Manager:
Opera mini has an inbuilt Password Manager that you can enable and disable from Privacy Settings. Enabling it will speed up your browsing by storing passwords on your phone so you don't have to retype them each time you go to a website.On the other hand, the downside is that others will have access to your phone and can even access your email or social networking accounts.

T9 predictive texting:
Since Opera Mini is a java application, you won't have access to features such as the T9 dictionary of your phone. But can disable Inline Editing in the Advanced sttings to switch back to the phon's text editor. T9 will start working, but you won't be able to type inline anymore.
