Opera Mini 3.0 Available Now

The Opera Mini upgrade I alluded to earlier is here. I downloaded the low-memory version to a mid-range Sony Ericsson phone late yesterday, so I haven't had a lot of time to play with it, but I noticed right away that it is very easy to subscribe to RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds on websites. According to Opera's website, the upgraded version also now offers easy photo sharing and secure connections. Download Mini from your phone by pointing your browser to www.operamini.com.

Opera Mini To Be Upgraded Soon

An upgrade to the Opera Mini web browser for mobile phones will be available for download in "a week or two" according to this article from RCR News.

The Must-Have Mobile Web Browser

For easy access to the web, your phone's built-in web browser is probably your best choice, but I think you will find that there are some web pages that cannot be viewed in the built-in browser. I highly recommend downloading Opera Mini. There are a lot of other advantages to using Opera Mini which I may detail in future posts, but the main reason you want to install it on your phone is that it lets you access websites that other browsers don't. I would not have been able to download some of the applications I detailed in previous posts without Opera Mini. The download sites were inaccessible with Motorola's built-in browser.
