Opera Signs Nokia Phone Deal
Masq666 writes "Opera Software stated on Friday that it had signed a deal with Nokia to put its mobile Internet browser on several Nokia phones. Opera has licensed its mobile Internet browser for a total of 11 Nokia phone models in recent years. Opera's CFO said he expected the rise in the number of phones with Opera's browser to outpace the increase in models."
Fst pst frm a cl fne.
And for an extra $10/mo, you can use the browser without ads.
As long as it's without the adds, I think it's great to see what i still consider the best browser to be present on cell phones. Albeit that probably means the cell phones are running CE...
Blah blah sig blah blah blah irony blah blah
You dance around with the phone or do a silly walk.
How long until Opera is the defacto browser for all Symbian OS phones?
My sigs offend the max # of people all over the world, regardless of race, religion, color, sex or creed. It's a gift.
What does this mean for Minimo (Mozilla's mini-browser that was funded/supported by Nokia)? It's been less than a year since they announced their financial support for the project,. I know the mozilla foundation released a few early versions for Windows CE/Pocket, but I haven't heard anything about the mobile phone version.
You're only as smart as your brain.
There are no ads on the mobile version of the browser.
Only a trial version and it costs 20$ if you want to buy it.
Jesus was a sand ni*** and a kike.
I cant even use opera in my windows computer. I cant really think of anything as unusable as opera in a cellphone...
It must be hard browsing without mouse gestures
It figures that they would sign Opera as their browser....then they can sell you the Antispyware software to go along with the phone which is an additional $10. Similar to how Microsoft bought out the antivirus company which is software to fix problems that Microsoft made in its OS.

We'll get some return on that government spending. Did you realize that in 1970, the UK was allocating £348,000,000 per year for Silly Walk research?
Opera is great for browsing and has always had some form of a popup blocker (yes, even prior to Mozilla). However, It is noteworthy to point out the greatest feature of the Opera browser...."delete all private information".. I don't know a single person who surfs for porn with anything else!
It is nokia, they run symbian. Opera runs on practically everything. Shoot Xiph in the head and shoot the ones who moderated him in the stomach, they should suffer.
MMO Quests are like orgasms:
You may solo them, I prefer them in a group.
Plus, since this will be an ad-free version, you won't have to worry about all those pop-up and other ads at all.

So count on Pocket IE there...

Opera works well and is a proper browser. IE at the time (about 2 years ago) was horribly limited in the mobile version, no css at all for instance. Opera on the other hand could handle regular websites as well or as bad as the full version on your pc.
Mouse gestures didn't exist but the ones I used were the big slightly laptop form nokia's vs pda MS phones. The widescreen of the nokia helped reading newssites wich is what I was supposed to be building for these phones.
Maybe IE has now improved but two years ago there was no competition.

Sigged!
It might be interesting to run these browser-equipped PDA's and phones against the random shards of malformed html generated by Michael Zalewski's program mentioned previously on Slashdot.
I did a quick check of an embedded browser I had laying around, and it died instantly.

It will take long time.
The most people still use the default WAP GPRS browser. The bookmarks on the phone are associated with him, and there is no way to make Opera the default browser on the phones.
I can speak for the current Symbian phones, that have him (Sony Ericsson P800/P900, Nokia 6600).
Opera works surprisingly well. Just hit Shift+F11 and you can see for yourself(1). How does YOUR page look on a cell phone?
(1)Requires Opera of course, but why not use this opportunity to try the browser that Firefox has copied all it's cool features from?
Opera's CFO said he expected the rise in the number of phones with Opera's browser to outpace the increase in models.
Umm... Huh?
So... More models of phones will use Opera than the number of existant phone models?
Neat trick, this guy should talk to the CEO of a former employer of mine that swore to maintain perpetual X% "growth" per year by making cuts to reach that target.
Perhaps Bernie didn't do anything wrong... These guys just use a system of math totally incompatible with physical reality. Worldcom investors actually made trillions, it just doesn't look so good on paper. Yeah.
I've a Nokia 7610, and it's fantastic. There aren't many pieces of software that I, personally, consider are worth paying for, but Opera for Symbian is one of them, It's fantastic - it has turned my cute toy into a completely cool essential tool. I've even had to sign up to a data bundle from Orange (UK)!
Slashdot works particularly well.

Small screen is useful for those panels. If you want a design a page with a list of information, then you render it as small screen and make it fit better in the panel.

If they weren't in business, we were speaking about the IE domination (and also WinCE) on mobile market right now.
They make living money only and only from selling browsers and inventing. They had no $2M donation or 400+ elite coders.
Its a miracle they have come this far and keep on progressing.
