Opera 5.1 for Symbian Released

Thursday, 28 October 2010 15:09 Written by Chris 0 Comments

Opera has officially announced the release of their latest mobile web browser for Symbian-based devices: Opera Mini 5.1.

The Java-based browser sports a slew of improvements over its predecessor, including faster load times and scrolling performance, support for text input from the device and copy and paste functions, more crisp fonts and more. Concerns that its Java foundation would slow the app down seem to have been misplaced in light of the fact that Opera Mini 5.1 was designed with the Symbian mobile OS in mind the entire time.

Opera Mini 5.1 can be downloaded to your PC or direct to your Symbian smartphone at Opera’s official site.
