No matter how you break it down, having your application downloaded 100,000 times every day is a crazy number, and one worth shouting about. So that's what Opera have done. Opera Mini is the software getting the accolade (on top of last week's upgrade announcement), and the free browser with a proxy rendering client deserves it.

Wow, I didn't think my blog had such far-reaching influence...

Got my first Symbian just last week,(N82), but as do not have data package use Operamini over GPRS when away from WLAN.
Big pro for in 'mini is the ability to set font, thick &black, making it much easier to read than native Synbian browser.
Please,:con?
Some Symbian use like to tell me how scroll a page at a time in "native Symbian browser"???😮 'mini does it with keys 2&8, but for the life of me can't figure it out:con?
Even Nokia is now bundling Opera Mini with some of their Series 40 (ie non-Symbian) phones.
Opera seem to have found a very good niche for themselves, and that niche is arguably the mainstream when you consider how many people in the world have a phone but not a computer.
I can't believe I missed Opera Mini for so long. Maybe it was the "mini" that led me to making the mistake of thinking that this this some kind of cut down web but I just never bothered with it before. It was pure curiosity that led me to download the latest version and I was seriously amazed I hadn't done so before. It really is FAB!
All I can say is if you're not yet one of those 100,000 downloads a day, you should be .. Its free, Its fab, what more is there to say 😊
as much as i like opera mini, i wish it could handle downloads without needing to open the built-in browser.
Sorry for moaning, but there's always one isn't there.
