Title says it all: Is there any way to change the default browser to Opera so it would be the Opera which is used to open links in emails and RSS feeds.

I have installed SDK and I am able to ssh into phone but I couldn't find how to change this. Any ideas?

Maybe try changing /usr/local/applications/defaults.list?

See entries:

Code:
x-maemo-urischeme/http
x-maemo-urischeme/https

I can't find /usr/local/applications/defaults.list; however there is one in /usr/share/applications/ which I edited (replacing browser.desktop with operamobile-labs.desktop

Now the Opera is started nicely when opening link in email or RSS feed, but the problem is that the URL is not passed to Opera so it starts with speed dial screen Any ideas how the operamobile-labs.desktop file should be edited? Here it is:

Yes, that's the one I meant. Mistyped the URL.

Look at browser.desktop for example.
