Opera Mini on Nokia 6120

Web surfing using Opera Mini 4 on a Nokia 6120 with 3G HSDPA. Testing speed in loading pages Google, Ebay Australia, Whirlpool Forums Australia, and Imdb.

Times (timed from the moment button is pressed, to the moment the page has fully loaded):
10 sec - ebay
12 sec - whirlpool
6 sec - google
9 sec - imdb

Opera Mini is a free download, and runs on java enabled phones. It compresses the web pages before sent to your mobile, which makes pages load faster, and cost less data.

why use opera 5 when you have symbian? Im currently use n81 8gb opera 10. In fact opera 4.2 is better than opera 5. Forget other web browser such as bolt,skyfire,teashark,ucweb,th­ey all suck!

@lorrymanless - Ok thanks, i don't know why i haven't been using it. I think that Opera Mobile for symbian used to cost money to use, and that only Opera Mini was free.

I did try Opera Mobile a while back, but i found that i preferred Opera Mini, and it was free.

I have now installed Opera Mobile 10, looks very similar to Mini 5, but it's a bit smoother/faster, and is higher resolution. Will see how it goes.

Can't use SkyFire anymore in Australia, was good for Flash websites.

your icon opera mini small right? download my description link for icon fix way bigger icon!

[JAYRAY00]

@lorrymanless - I no longer use this phone, or this version of Opera. I have a Nokia 5800, and i use Opera Mini 5.

Thanks anyway, i think i had the larger icon anyway, i know the method to change the icon.

Do you need a data plan to use this App?

PLZ ANSWER!

[JAYRAY00]

@toxicbizzle13 - You need either a WiFi connection, or a data plan. There's no such browser than can access the internet without a data plan through a 3G/GPRS connection, or Wifi.

OMG Whirlpool!! Now I'm going to Opera Mini all the time!!

I'm PB'd atm though xD

No, the 3G does not give you free internet. You still have to pay for data from your mobile phone service provider. The advantage of using Opera Mini is that it uses a lot less data than the built in Nokia web browser, so it costs less.
