Default Mobile Phone Wap users, check this out

This new browser can be installed on any mobile phone that supports Java, and can compress the content of web pages up to 80%, putting it in a new format, for a better and faster browsing on most mobile phones.

Opera Mini will be available for everyone free of charge, downloadable via Wireless protocol, or, for a small fee, from the data/voice services provider trough the message services.

One of the great advantages of this new browser is that users can install it without any software or hardware upgrade, usually translated in additional expenses.

By reducing and reformatting the content of web pages, the browsing will be easier and faster, not to mention the advantage taken by the people that pay their data traffic per kilobyte.
The start page of the browser also includes a search box for Google.

At the moment, the browser is available in English, German, Spanish, French, Russian, Polish, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish and Finnish, with more language support in the following months.

I tried this out on my phone (Sony Ericsson V800) I think its fantastic, nice looking interface and faster, its probably saving me data costs too. So if you use wap fairly regularly when your out I would definitely recommend it.

The link to get it through your phone is mini.opera.com, only 100kb.

Damn don't think it is compatible with a Motorola E398. I have Java on my phone but it doesn't have it listed as compatible. I suppose it is an old phone. The only reason why I don't use the Net on my phone is because it loads too slow.

i dont see how that can save data, as the browser still has to read all the data then decide what to chop out? sure the end result on your phone will be smaller, but it still has to read "download" all that data before it can do anything

*shrug* thats how it works with everything else in terms of the internet anyway. I imagine mobile phones are identical
