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.

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
