Indonesia’s Telkomsel and Opera Software announced a deal under which the operator will offer Opera Mini to its 82 million users. Opera on its end will prepare a custom version of Opera Mini 5, which will be “optimized for Telkomsel subscribers.” What that exactly means was not disclosed – I’m guessing Telkomsel gets to choose web sites which are included in bookmarks by default, and their logo is visible somewhere within the app.
Indonesia is already one of Opera Mini’s largest user bases, ranking second in usage worldwide.
Finally at the end of the press release, we learn that this is just the beginning and that the two companies will continue to develop the Opera Mini version for Telkomsel, adding new features in the future.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. 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.
