Most Verizon devices run on the BREW platform, not the standard Java J2ME that practically all other mobile devices support. Opera Mini, a browser that we love here at IntoMobile (read review here), has just announced that they’ve ported their application to the BREW platform. Now all of you Verizon users can get the most out of your device, because lets face it, the browser built into your phone is probably a joke.
The only problem I see with this is that Verizon still charges an arm and a leg for their data services, at least in comparison to the other American operators.
