Opera Mobile 8.60 Web browser for Series 60

Opera Software today announced Opera Mobile 8.60, its mobile browser for Symbian Series 60 (S60) mobile phones. With this new release, Opera is offering its most complete and easy-to-use mobile browser to date. Opera Mobile 8.60 for S60 is designed to let users interact more effectively with the Web on their phone, and includes new features to speed up the user interaction through auto-completion of Web addresses and passwords, page toggling and smooth scrolling.

Opera Mobile 8.60 for S60 is designed for the new Symbian 9, S60 3rd edition phones. It also supports all current Symbian S60 2nd edition mobile devices.

A user-friendly experience is also about being able to select how pages are displayed on a small screen. Users can surf with Opera’s acclaimed Small-Screen Rendering (SSR) technology used in Opera Mini, which refits Web pages to the width of the mobile screen, or select desktop mode to view the page to look like it would on a PC, with the ability to zoom in and out.

Highlights of Opera Mobile 8.60:

• Symbian 9, S60 3rd Edition compatible
• Auto-completion for URL entr
• Password manager for easy logins
• New and improved smooth scrollin
• Updated user interface with new skin
• Open and toggle up to four windows, each with separate settings for zoom levels and display options
• Read and bookmark newsfeeds
• Send images as MMS or save to phone gallery

Finally, the features I was looking forward to are here. It’s great that Opera Software is actually listening to its customers.

P.S. For all of the non-Symbian users out there, Opera Software also launched Opera Mini 2.0 – so check it out.
