Opera Mobile

Many of us are waiting for the PPC version of Opera, including me . I'm happy to say that we today announced that Opera 8.5 for PPC will be included on the new Sharp W-ZERO3 by the Japanese operator, Willcom Inc.

The Sharp W-ZERO3 is a Windows Mobile 5.0 device, and the first Pocket PC device to feature the Opera browser. The device featuring the final version of Opera 8.5 for PPC will be available in Japan in mid-January. And yes, that is also when we will have the public, downloadable version available from opera.com!

Nokia today announced the 9300i smartphone, and it comes with the Opera browser.
You can read more about the device on Nokia's press pages.

Opera's latest edition of its renowned Web browser for Symbian S60, Opera Mobile(TM) 8.5 is listed as "Application of the Week" by both Nokia and Symbian this week:

Opera 8 for Symbian S60 brings the convenience of desktop Web browsing to S60 devices. This new version allows mobile users to browse large-format Web sites and preserves the original site’s design and layout to a remarkable degree. Mobile users can now access their favorite Web sites without the frustration or tedious delays of traditional mobile browsers.

Opera Mobile(TM) 8.5 for Series 60 has been received very well by the industry, the media and end-users across the world since its launch on November 14

Just want to say a massive cheers to the whole Opera team for taking on board all the feedback, and making a browser that is simply great...

Opera is the best mobile browser I have used, if you haven't tried it out already do so. It's great.

The Opera browser is used by the major handset manufacturers in the world and is shipped on mobile phones from, among others, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Kyocera, Hitachi, Casio and Motorola. T-Mobile has opted for the Opera browser on several of the phones in their Web'n'Walk offering, demonstrating not only the quality of the Opera browser, but also that mobile Web access has now become a major selling point also in Europe and America, as it has been for a while in Japan. Opera has positioned itself for this development for years, and we are in a very good position now that mobile Web is starting to take off. We'll roll out Opera Mini globally soon, enabling full Internet access on most "normal" phones on the market, and that's just the beginning... Stay tuned and surf Opera!

I am proud and really really pleased that as of right now Opera Mini is available, completely free of charge, to all members of the Opera Community.

Let the show begin! You can download it to your phone from here: GET OPERA MINI
