opera mini browser

To be honest, working on PCs all day every day of the week, I never gave much thought to browsing on a mobile device, happy to shut the door on computers along with the office door.

My Nokia mobile device has managed to keep me updated with urgent e mails allowing me to keep in touch with business and personal contacts alike and generally that has been more than I could hope for.

But the quick connectivity of the Nokia to the web via wi-fi has recently found me checking websites and such while relaxing in front of the tv or listening to music in the evening.

For someone like me who is used to working on a desk or lap top computer, I never imagined that the small mobile screen would be very pleasurable for much more than reading text and e mails.

However, I have found that watching music videos and film trailers on the small screen isn’t so bad after all and now the Nokia is getting much more use for browsing the web.

The software that comes with Nokia’s smartphones can be clumsy and slow, so when I saw the Opera Mini browser in the Ovi store I downloaded it straight away.

OK, it is not the latest offering from Opera, but having used the full blown version on my PC it is a product that I have found both stable and simple to use for web browsing, not to mention the fact that it is fast.

Opera Mini is free to download from Ovi and is installed on the smartphone within minutes, ready to browse. It has transformed my Nokia into a much more user friendly mobile computer, with software that I know and trust as well as being much faster than the original software.

The only problem for me is that I am now spending almost every waking hour with a computer in front of me, but the main thing is that Opera mini has made that a fun, rather than miserable, experience.
