Opera has released a new version of their mobile web browser for Windows Mobile, Opera Mini 5.1. The new version is designed to support Windows Mobile smartphones with larger and higher resolution displays, as well as smartphones with built-in accelerometers.
Opera Mini 5.1 can now be set as the default browser on Windows Mobile smartphones, and it is designed to be faster and use less data than other browsers as it uses a backend server to compress content before it is sent to the handset.
Opera Mini 5.1 has already been released for Java, Android and BlackBerry phones. Now available for Windows Mobile 2003 SE, 5.x and 6.x handsets, Opera Mini’s server backbone speeds up browsing while reducing the data transferred to the phone. For users roaming on expensive networks, or with pay-as-you-go data plans, Opera Mini can cut your mobile data bill by up to 90 percent.
Enhanced Features and Performance
One of the standout features of Opera Mini 5.1 is its ability to be set as the default browser on Windows Mobile devices. This means users can enjoy a seamless browsing experience without having to manually select Opera Mini each time they want to surf the web. The browser is optimized for speed and efficiency, leveraging a backend server to compress web content before it reaches the user’s device. This not only speeds up the browsing experience but also significantly reduces data usage, making it an ideal choice for users with limited data plans or those who frequently travel and encounter expensive roaming charges.
The new version also supports smartphones with larger and higher resolution displays, ensuring that web pages are rendered beautifully and are easy to navigate. Additionally, the support for built-in accelerometers means that the browser can automatically adjust the orientation of the web page based on how the user is holding their device, providing a more intuitive and user-friendly experience.
Compatibility and Availability
Opera Mini 5.1 is compatible with a wide range of Windows Mobile devices, including those running Windows Mobile 2003 SE, 5.x, and 6.x. This broad compatibility ensures that a large number of users can benefit from the enhanced features and performance improvements offered by the new version.
For those who are already familiar with Opera Mini on other platforms such as Java, Android, and BlackBerry, the transition to the Windows Mobile version will be smooth and straightforward. The user interface and functionality remain consistent across different platforms, allowing users to enjoy the same high-quality browsing experience regardless of the device they are using.
In addition to its performance and compatibility enhancements, Opera Mini 5.1 also includes several user-friendly features such as tabbed browsing, a password manager, and a download manager. These features make it easier for users to multitask, manage their online accounts, and download files directly to their devices.
