Tue, 11/03/2009 - 11:05 - madreaper


Opera has released the beta of Opera Mobile 10. Currently the only download available is for Symbian OS S60 3rd edition and 5th edition based phones. This includes but is not limited to the Nokia E-series/X-Series/N-series devices, Sony Ericsson Satio, and the Samsung i8910 HD.
Like all other Opera betas, this download is free and lets you use the browser without trail limitations till the release of a final version. Video and further details further in the article.

Features include:

  • Tabbed browsing with visual thumbnails
  • Optional Turbo Mode (Compresses webpages through a proxy server much like Opera Mini does)
  • AjAX support
  • Panning and zooming web pages

Here is Opera's demo video of it in action.

You can download the browser on a Symbian powered device here: m.opera.com/mobile
You can download it at a PC from here: Opera Mobile 10 Beta Download

I have already downloaded this application to my Nokia N97 and will run it through its paces to see how it stacks up against the built in webkit based browser that comes with Symbian S60 5th edition devices.
