Opera Software e Nokia hanno concretizzato una partnership da tempo ventilata ed in base alla quale i cellulari con funzionalità Web avanzate della seconda saranno equipaggiati con il software di navigazione sviluppato dalla prima. Ad annunciarlo è stata la stessa Opera, con il comunicato stampa che abbiamo incluso in questa news: il suo Mini Web browser è installato di serie tra gli applicativi di cui il telefonino 6300 di Nokia (cfr. foto seguente) è dotato.
In accordo a Timo Bruns, EVP Business Development in Opera Software, "la software house è emozionata per la scelta di Nokia" e, parimenti, "è certa che il Mini browser sarà utile non solo agli utenti del Nokia 6300 ma a tutti coloro che lo utilizzeranno". Il Mini browser di Opera è scaricabile gratuitamente su www.operamini.com.

Opera Software announces its Opera Mini Web browser is shipping in most markets with selected Nokia 6300s. With the Nokia 6300 weighing in at a mere 91 grams, Opera Mini complements the phone's sleek, compact architecture by enabling fast Web browsing on all sites with little requirements needed of the device.
Opera Mini is a Java-based Web browser that enables full Internet access on the majority of mobile phones in the market. By using a server to pre-process and compress Web sites before sending them to the handset, Opera Mini offers a remarkably fast browsing experience as it reduces the size of data transferred.
Opera Mini launched in January 2006 and has since gained more than eight million users. It is available as a free download at www.operamini.com and through partnerships with handset manufacturers, operators and content providers. Frequently visited sites with Opera Mini include those that are popular for search, social networking and Webmail.
"We're thrilled that Nokia has embraced our Mini Web browser and that it will provide a lot of convenience to Nokia 6300 consumers with fun and easy Web browsing," says Timo Bruns, EVP Business Development, Opera Software. "We're committed to Opera Mini as a powerful browser that simply works for everyone."
Opera Mini features on the Nokia 6300:
- Real Web: Access all Web pages on the go.
- Content Download: Download images, MP3s, etc. directly to the phone.
- Multi-Search: Opera Mini offers advanced searching functionality by allowing users to select extra search engines for the home page.
- Speed Dial: Bookmarks displayed on the home page are assigned a shortcut key combination, giving users faster and easier access to their favorite sites.
- Visual Navigation: Quick and smooth horizontal panning when browsing backwards or forwards.
- Skins: Make Opera Mini your own by selecting from several new and bold skins to suit your mood.
"We're committed to Opera Mini as a powerful browser that simply works for everyone."
