opera mini 5 beta — testing

just installed opera mini 5 beta on my nokia e63. i’ve always pre­ferred opera mini to nokia’s version of safari and new version looks like it’s shaping up to improve the mobile brows­ing exper­i­ence even further…two words…tabbed browsing!

been waiting on a mobile browser to manage this for quite some time and opera’s imple­ment­a­tion of it seems to work well. it also fea­tures a new gui, a pass­word manager, improved speed dial and seems to load pages more quickly (all through opera’s proxy servers). the ‘sync book­marks’ feature seems to be missing though and i hope that’ll reappear in a future version of the application.

all in all a nice update that works well despite being an early beta.
