Opera Browser v8.51 S60 SymbianOS7

With the award-winning Opera Mobile browser you can surf the same Web sites on your mobile phone as you do on your personal computer. The Opera 8.51 mobile Web browser for Symbian S60 is designed with speed and ease-of-use in mind, so you can surf the Web with your mobile phone quickly and easily. No hassle, just fast browsing.

New Features in Opera 8.51 for S60:

Customisable shortcut keys

With Opera 8.51 you can customise the functions you want from the keys on the phone keypad. In addition to the functions already present with the current keypad setup, you can also select from a number of additional functions. As an example, you can change key 9 from "Internet search" to "History list", if you use this more often.

Zoom

Opera 8.51 gives you the ability to zoom in on webpages to enlarge both text and images. The scale goes from 100 % all the way up to 250%, so you can enlarge image details or increase the font size if the readability is not good enough on the website. Nokia N90 users will in addition have the ability to zoom down to 20% to take advantage of the higher screen resolution.

Password manager

Now you can log into your favorite webmail without having to type in your username ans password each time. With the password manager, you will be asked to store your username and password the first time you log in on a website; to use for later logins. For extra security, you can also create a master password.

New image handling

Opera 8.51 makes it easier to save and send images. With the new image mode, simply click on an image to either save it to the phone gallery, or send it as a MMS.


Key Features in Opera for S60:

Based on the latest core rendering engine

Browsing on a mobile device should not lessen the Internet experience. The mobile browser is based on the latest technology found in the desktop versions of Opera 8.51, with extensive Web standards support. For you, this means you will get access to more pages than ever before from your mobile. Read more about specifications supported in Opera 8.51 for S60.

Improved Small Screen Rendering

After introducing Small-Screen Rendering (SSR) in 2002 to reformat Web pages to small screens, Opera has continued development to make the Web fit your handheld device. The latest Opera 8.51 features Color Small-Screen Rendering (CSSR), which allows you to keep more of the original site design and layout than the previous version. Select "Speed" mode over "Quality" to get more basic page rendering which is approximately 25% faster.

Speed

Opera 8.51 has significantly improved performance, particularly with 3G-enabled phones. On slower networks we recommend using our Mobile Accelerator to get faster speeds and smaller data transfers. If you have a 3G-enabled phone, such as Nokia 6630 or 6680, you will have a browsing experience with Opera 8.51 not previously seen on mobile phones.

Improved navigation

Opera now uses four-way navigation on all pages. This makes link selection easier, regardless if fit-to-window is turned on or off: just move the joystick to go to the next link in any direction. Opera 8.51 also features fast scrolling in all directions, which is particularly important on a small device.

Integrated search with Google

Go to the search site of your choice, or use the built-in Google search.
