Thank you Opera, and happy birthday!
This is hands down my favorite application since I only have EDGE. The full web browsing experience may be cool to you guys in Europe with your fancy 3G network, but over here we let a board room of people dictate how our spectrum should be castrated utilized to its fullest potential.
Dear Nokia (NYSE: NOK): Can you convince the guys to make an S60 native version of Opera Mini? Please?
Download it now if you haven’t already, check out my review if your interested.
The adoption of web browsing on mobile devices has helped Opera Mini enjoy a successful first year in and out of the pockets of people around the world.
Users around the world have dropped Opera Mini onto their mobile devices around the world. Opera said in its notes on the first birthday of the product that the free browser has had an impact on the mobile marketplace.
"This is a celebration for our users," said Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software. "Thanks to the more than 10 million people who use Opera Mini, we’ve changed the way users and mobile operators think about the mobile Web. Because of the tremendous grassroots support, Opera Mini is now a movement."
It’s not just the people and the mobile providers who have noticed such interest. The major Internet players – Yahoo, Google (NSDQ: GOOG), Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT), AOL, and Ask – all have efforts of varying complexity and strategy aimed at mobile users.

Opera Mobile is the same thing, only S60 native. And it has username/password storage, I use it daily on my E62 to access my corporate webmail. Http://www.opera.com/mobile
You’re wrong Ricky:
Opera for Mobile is the full web experience, Opera Mini uses a proxy to condense websites. Useful for people with slow data connections.
Huge huge difference.
