After the private beta launch, Nokia is pushing the Ovi Browser to every Series 40 feature phone owner out there. The Finnish giant’s main target are emerging markets of the world, though the application will work on most Nokia phones sold all around the globe.
Among Nokia devices supported, we find 2700 Classic, 2730 Classic, 3120 Classic, 3600 Slide, 5130 XpressMusic, 5220 Xpressmusic, 5310 XpressMusic, 5330 Mobile TV Edition, 5330 Xpressmusic, 5610, 6300i, 6303, 6500 Slide, 6500 Classic, 6600 Slide, 6700 Classic, 7210 Supernova, 7900 Prism and X3.
As you may know from our previous post on Ovi Browser, it works pretty much like Opera Mini, compressing and optimizing HTML code so users save on mobile data costs. Unsurprisingly, most users come from India, followed by Indonesia and Vietnam — all of which are places where Nokia pretty much dominates the market.
The commercial release is set for early next year, and Nokia promised to introduce more improvements along the way. Moreover, Ovi Browser will be pre-installed on many Nokia Series 40 phones beginning in 2011.

Dusan Belic
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.
