Now we officially know which browser HTC will use on its latest flagship smartphone, HTC Diamond. Yap, it’s the super-cool Opera Mobile 9.5 browser, which we already saw in action in Matt’s demo.
As you may already know, the latest version of Opera Mobile brings such features as tabbed browsing, improved text wrap, landscape mode, ability to call a phone number right from a web page, history, bookmarks, and copy text to clipboard. In addition, such things as save page for offline browsing, web address auto-complete and password manager make your think you’re not surfing the web on a mobile phone, but on a full-fledged desktop computer. Hence, HTC’s President and CEO Peter Chou’s comment: “We have worked very closely with Opera Mobile to deliver a feature set and browsing experience that is optimized for mobile, but viewed like it would on a PC.”
Now, it’s about time HTC send us a review unit. Who says Diamonds are girl’s best friends, only.

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.
