Whether you like it or not, Nokia is still the king of the mobile business. With a worldwide market share hanging steadily at around 38%, Nokia has plenty of smartphones out there despite the fact that none of them can really compete with any of the current hot models from the competition.
Opera is definitely aware that so many people still use Symbian smartphones and therefore it has made its latest mobile browser available to the Symbian public. Opera Mobile 10 Beta is now available for download so if you own a Symbian phone you should definitely get it.
The new browser will offer you a full web experience and it’s coming with some new improvements and features:
- Intuitive interface
- Faster browsing
- Speed dial
- Tabs
- Opera Turbo
- Touch-support
- Web compatibility
- Password manager
- Adaptive Zoom
- History and Bookmarks support
- Dragonfly support
- Auto-completion
- Pop-up handler
- AJAX support
Opera Mobile 10 beta will work exactly as your desktop browser. It offers you full web compatibility and you’ll be able to load the full version of your favorite websites. You can open up multiple tabs, bookmark pages and download content. There’s full zooming support available and features like Speed Dial, Password Manager, web address auto-completion or the pop-up handler will let you navigate even faster than before. Add to that the fact that page downloading is now 50% faster than the previous version and you’ll have a winning combination.
Naturally the browser is free of charge and you can try it already by following the link below. Opera says that version 10 is almost twice as fast as version 9.7 when it comes to downloading stuff or zooming on pages. Opera Turbo is nicely integrated into the package which will contribute even more to loading web pages as cheaply and as fast as possible. Opera Turbo compresses web pages up to 70% which means it saves both time and money for you.
The browser has support for both touchscreen Symbian smartphones and regular keypad-based handsets. That means your browsing experience is about to get improved no matter what Nokia phone you currently use. So what do you say? Ready to give it a go?
