Opera Software will be releasing the latest mobile (not Mini) version of its browser somewhere in the first half of next year. Apparently, roughly at that time “a global mobile phone manufacturer will begin pre-installing Opera Mobile 9 on their Windows Mobile smartphones.” Now, the doors for the speculations are widely open. I guess we’ll see HTC leading the pack. After all, they’ve already shipped the Advantage with the pre-installed Opera Mobile.
But, it’s not just the Windows Mobile users who will cheer for the improved Web experience. Opera is also preparing to launch its browser for the Symbian UIQ platform, used most notably by Sony Ericsson and Motorola… Hopefully, we’ll see the upcoming Motorola Z10 being among the first UIQ3-based smartphones to sport the new “Web 2.0 ready” browser. Stay tuned…
UPDATE: Opera Browser will be available only to OEMs and operators in H1 2008. Opera Software still haven’t announced a date for the Opera Mobile 9 version that will be available for users to download.

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.
