An all new and improved version of world’s most popular mobile web browser – Opera Mini 5 is now available for download. Right from launch screen to interface to visual effects, everything has been changed in this version (In comparison to older versions). Many new features have been added to make it looks and function-wise similar to its desktop counterpart (Opera 10):
Vista style beautiful interface (Black rounded bars, buttons etc)
Smooth sliding drop-down menu providing easy navigation.
Tabbed browsing – Finally tabs are incorporated to open multiple pages at the same time.
Speed dial – 9 customizable speed dial thumbnails at the launch screen just like in opera for desktop.
A pop-up blocker
Password manager – that remembers passwords for your logins.
An improved Find-in-the-page function that instantly displays results
I tried it in my Nokia N70, all the features work fine but it seemed a bit slower than older 4.2 version. Try yourself for a great browsing experience on your mobile. Now a little more about Opera Mini – Right from its launch, ‘Mini’ has been the most popular and widely used mobile web browser and following are the main reason behind this success:
Besides native versions, it is also available as a mobile Java app so compatibility is not an issue (almost all mobiles support J2ME now). It gives far better browsing experience than mobile’s built-in (pathetic) web browser. (in terms of speed, page rendering etc). The famous “Back” function – In which browser does not have to download the page again (rather the page is stored and reloaded from cache).
And of course it is completely free
