I installed the beta version of opera mini on my WM6 HTC Kaiser today, what’s that you say? nino? opera? i know!!

I’m a huge user of firefox, I cant stand IE and Opera in fact, I don’t think I know anyone that uses opera!! Anyway i digress!

I was having issues with finding a suitable browser for my hand held, minimo (firefox mobile) takes an age to load and at times can be very unresponsive. The combination of PIE and PIEplus was getting there but the zoom feature on PIE for WM 6.1 leaves a lot to be desired!

I stumbled across Opera Mini 4 when to my shame i googled “WM6 iphone like browser”, as much as i hate apple i have to hand it to them they do have some clever ideas when it comes to software, i just cant bring myself to be a smug, polo neck wearing ****.

There’s an online java demo of the opera browser here Opera Mini Demo.  The zoom function is seamless as is flipping between page. I have also found the pages load up much much faster.

The best thing is this piece of software is free! So if you have a java enabled device, lets face it they all are, then grab this! Download
