Last week I've reviewed for you the best instant message app for your mobile phone. That's right- Jimm.
This week I'm giving you a short review of the second best application in my opinion - Opera mini.
All mobile phones have some form of rudimentary Internet browser with functionality limited to the utmost necessities. To say it another way- the preinstalled browsers suck! So here comes the Opera mini - the near perfect reincarnation of the desktop Opera browser for your mobile.
Why nearly perfect? Well, mostly because browsing on a 2" display and without a QWERTY keyboard sucks big time.
The browser however is as good as possible . It has the ability to sync with your PC,view pages in landscape mode,and auto resize the Internet pages for your meager mobile screen which makes it not only blazingly fast, but also compresses the pages, resulting in less traffic through your overprized GPRS. It also has power scrolling shortcuts and the possibility to create custom shortcuts , plus a dynamic resize function giving you the chance to zoom in and out flawlessly to see only the details you care about...
If you're not impressed by all this perhaps you can try the last beta version 4.1 which gives you a load of new, useful features to help you browse even faster, upload and download files, search on page and so on. I can write a lot about it, but it's much easier to redirect you to the site where you can download it and read some more on the topic...
So check out http://www.operamini.com/ for the browser overview, http://www.operamini.com/download/ for the browser download and http://www.operamini.com/beta/ for the latest Beta. You won't regret it :)
The bottom line is: Opera mini is the preferred mobile browser of this game designer and I personally recommend it to anyone who has the intention to use his phone for Internet browsing!
