Opera Mobile 10.1 app review

Opera 10.1 is officially out of beta, and it’s pretty much essential for all Symbian^3 and S60 users. Why? Because, to put it bluntly, it knocks Nokia’s default browser into a cocked hat. That’s no disgrace though, as Opera has been up there with the very best mobile browsers for some time.

Version 10.1 makes browsing on your Nokia a pleasure, with a handy 3×3 Speed Dial grid providing easy access to your favourite websites, an excellent on-screen keyboard and Opera’s customary blazing performance. Apparently this is twice as fast as the previous version, which was no slouch itself.
