Opera Mini

Using GPRS?
Is your data plan exhausted too soon?
Use Opera Mini.

It saves upto 80% of the data usage
(As they say ;)).

This is a one of the browser which is support on all major phone platorms.
Android,iOS,Blackberry,Symbian 60 and Windows as well.
I am using on my Android phone and some of my friends are using on Nokia - Symbian 60. We both are satisfied with our performance.

If you are using Android phone then you can download it from here.

Opera uses its own Opera Services to compress and load pages. This is the main reason why pages loads so fast.
Its GUI is the best one I have come across.

Some of the striking features can be found by clicking on Opera button(bottom right corner) are :

1)Tabs : You have multiple tabs same as our PC browsers have. To switch between those is very simple and fast. One of the interesting thing is if you click on a link for 2 secs, you will get option to open that link in new tab.

2)Speed dial : If you are using mozilla then you might have come across speed dial addon. This is the home page when opera starts so when you are in hurry you can quickly go to your favourite site and check updates.











3)Bookmarks, History are also available with save page option.












4)Settings : This feature makes it customized to a large extent from text wrapping to image quality you get everything.

5)Opera link : You can sync your PC opera to Opera Mini. I dont think this option is much useful to us because most of us use either Mozilla or Chrome on our PC.








6)Save image option : Let us say you are visiting some website where you dont want to download whole page but just a image. You need to click on image for 2 secs and you will get an option to download it.


7)Find text : This is option which is mainly used in pdf files to find a specific word. If the page you are visiting has lot of content and you want to go to specific word in one shot. You can use this option to find that word.



8)Data usage : We discussed earlier that it saves upto 80%. You can now verify it. This option is available in Help -> Data usage. You can reset it every month if you like. This also saves us from extra usage which we might have used without our knowledge.
