There’s a new browser out in the Symbian S60 World, and its Opera Mini 5.
Opera Mini 5 beings a whole bunch of features to the browsing experience for Mobile Users. Some of them are :
Tabs
With tabbed browsing you no longer need to interrupt one session to start another. Use your web-mail in one window, Facebook in another, Twitter in a third and all that while checking the latest sports results. With Opera Mini you can easily identify the different tabs and jump between them.
Password manager
No more hassle with those hard to enter user names and passwords. Opera Mini 5 will remember your credentials and you can log on to your favorite Web sites with just a single click. The passwords are stored on your phone for your convenience.
Full Web in your palm
When visiting a Web page, Opera Mini displays the overview of the page and suggests where to begin your reading before you zoom in. Opera Mini also detects when on a Web page designed for a mobile phone and displays it optimally.
Touch & Keypad
The user interface has been designed for both touchscreen and keypad style mobile phones. With a touchscreen you can enjoy even easier navigation with our new zooming and kinetic scrolling.
Speed Dial
Get your favorite Web page with just one click. Speed Dial is a set of visual bookmarks you see when you open a new tab, like a dashboard for your on-line life. To add a new page, simply click on an empty Speed Dial slot, and Opera will make suggestions based on your browsing history and bookmarks.
Built for speed
Time is precious. Opera Mini compresses pages by up to 90% before being sent to your phone meaning faster page load times than in other mobile Web browsers.
Find things faster
The new Opera Mini lets you search for text within a Web page so you can get to the information you need even quicker than before.
Power scrolling
Scroll at warp speed using your phone keypad or by dragging the page on a phone with a touch screen.
Tabbed browsing
Browse several Web sites at the same time. Jump easily from one to another.
Speed dial
Your favourite sites are just one click away.
Touch & Keypad
The interface optimizes the display for both touchscreen and keypad phones.
Password manager
Log on to your email, social network and other sites with just one click.
Egads, quite a load of features there eh ?
Here’s a short instructional video to show you more about Opera Mini 5 :
While initially the fact that Opera Mini 5 was a Java App gave me the little “Ick” factor, the browser’s actually pretty sweet. Very Usuable and supported by all the S60 devices I installed it on.
Bonus tip: If you have an S60v5 Touch device, long press on the Screen in Opera Mini 5 and you’ll find yourself in “Text Copy” mode so you can copy text from the browser.
You can download Opera Mini 5 Beta directly on your S60 device by going to m.Opera.com/Next or download the file to your PC and install it to your phone later, by going to Opera.com/Mini.
