Opera Mobile 10 beta: Verdict

First Glance:

This is just opera mini 5 beta with a different name and packing 10

times the size. Mini had been somewhere around 400kB in size but the

Opera mobile 10 comes in at around 4MB. Most of the transition need

have been refined. But sadly i still haven't been able to fine the

synchronise button.

Upon trying to load orkut on my Nokia N95 i was bombarded with alerts
of Low memory even though the Opera browser was the only active app.
And orkut didn't load either. Later i tried it in the turbo mode with
images off and things seemed better until the 3rd page when i started
to run out of memory again.

Compared to the mini, data transfer rates are huge even with the Turbo
feature on. And in my experience, this has resulted in a sharp fall in
speed.

Final verdict: It sucks. Doesn't even come near in providing a good
web experience.

Opera gets new servers in the Americas

Along with the new free software browser from Opera,the opera mini 5

beta, they've also announced the opening of new data centers in the

Americas for faster data processing and to handle the increased

traffic. Even though the servers are in America, users around the

world are likely to see enhanced speeds as the load on the system is

reduced. Yea!

Opera mini 5 - get your full free download

I just saw that the Opera mini 5 beta is up for download. Now this is

something i'v been waiting for for a long time. I've jumped over to

the opera mini portal and queued up the new mini for download - a

222kb download. But before you install it, make sure you've

synchronised your old opera mini app so that you don't have configure

everything all over again.

Have fun with the Opera mini software guys. This must be the best free

browser software in the whole world wide web !
