1. The latest available Opera Mobile that works on S60 3rd Edition smartphones is 8.65 and it’s old…
2. It doesn’t even run on newer S60 3rd Edition FP1 and FP2, and S60 5th Edition smartphones, making Opera fans disappointed and devastated. Luckily there’s Opera Mini and the newer Opera Mini 5 Beta 1. But, a native application is always better…
3. I am very excited to know that Opera just announced Opera Mobile 10 for Symbian S60 today!
4. I think it is about time for them to release a native internet browser for Symbian S60. One that follows Opera’s excellent technology such as Opera Link, Opera Turbo, Opera Unite…
5. However this first release doesn’t have Opera Link or Opera Unite inside it. Maybe it will be included in the future in the final release.
6. This first beta release contains among others, the folloeing :-
- Presto engine, the same as Opera Desktop
- 50% faster than the previous Opera Mobile version
- Tabbed browsing!!! YESSS!!!
- Download manager
- Password Manager
- Opera Dragonfly – for those who want to develop mobile-specific web apps
- Rich web contents
- Saving pages and images for offline reading
And many MORE!
7. I am all for the latest and greatest but I also afraid Opera Mobile 10 will eat RAM like crazy…
8. I will test it in real-life usage and post a report here.
9. There’s a good Opera Mobile Tutorial for you to get started and understand the new Opera Mobile better
10. To those who have tried Opera Mobile 10 Beta 1, how is it? Any good?
