Opera releases Opera Mobile 10 beta for Symbian S60 handsets

Opera, the creator of the most popular web browser for cell phones - Opera Mini, released Opera Mobile 10 beta for Symbian S60 earlier today. The new version has been optimized for all S60 devices, irrelevant of whether or not they sport touch-sensitive screens and brings forth several novelties. Opera Mobile 10 beta for S60, similarly to the Opera Mini 5 beta, comes with jazzy interface, new features like improved zooming and faster web page loading.

You can now place Speed Dial tab directly onto the home screen. It´s pretty much the same as the one found in the computer version of the program and consists of 9 tabs that host shortcuts (with pictures) to your favourite web sites. The Opera Turbo technology should provide faster loading of pages, because what you actually get on your cell phone is a compressed copy of the page you want to open, sent to you by Opera web servers featuring the technology.

Owners of Symbian S60 based handsets can get a copy of Opera Mobile 10 beta from here (computer download) or here if the app is to be downloaded directly onto their devices.

Description:

The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 is the manufacturer's first Android phone. It is rather high-end, equipped with a 1GHz Snapdagon processor, 4-inch TFT screen with a resolution of 480x854 pixels and an 8.1-megapixel camera with autofocus. However, its software features are just as impressing. What it adds to the Android universe is a personalized interface, called UX (from User eXperience). Basically, UX combines various entertainment and social media features.
