Interesting to see a S60 insider telling blogger Jonathan Greene that the requests for version 2 of the S60 Safari-based Web browser have been heard and that it will be made available separately from Feature Pack 1 - i.e. that it'll be an SISx file that can be loaded onto existing S60 3rd Edition smartphones.
Read on in the full article.
Good to hear😊
great news! thanks nokia.
Good news, but the link you gave doesn't work! It returns a '404 - not found'.
cheers,

Will this version 2 of the S60 browser finally let the user select and copy text from any web page? That's the one improvement I personally, and many others with me, care about the most.
Finally! Now, if we could only get the promised v3 firmware for the E70...
It's welcome news. But there's still the problem of what to do with the WAP browser. It's seemingly hardwired into the email app (and probably other places as well) to use the WAP when clicking on links in an email. It's such a PITA because you can't copy the link to manually paste into WEB.

=)juha
Can't wait to try out the new & improved off-line Web feeds.
=0)
if that is true, why cant i find anything about that in nokias "official" s60 browser blog?
"... on my E61 ... ctrl+c to copy ... ctrl+v to paste ..."
OK, I just found out the same can be done on the E70, ie use ctrl-c, ctrl-v. But that involves opening up the keyboard (and the hassle that entails). For machines other than E61 and E70 which don't have a keyboard they're stuffed. Why isn't the pencil + Copy/Paste functionality available.
Copy - paste can be done by holding edit button (that with pencil on it) and application buttons (below display)
one month later and still waiting for the new browser
