Norwegian software company Opera announced today the launch of Opera Mobile 10 beta for Windows Mobile phones. The new version of the Windows Mobile browser comes towards users with a desktop-like experience, and enables them to search, socialize and stay connected even when on the go.

According to the company, the new Opera Mobile 10 beta for Windows Mobile-based handsets features the same look as the desktop variant of the Opera browser, and also resembles the Opera Mini 5 beta. The company aims at creating an advanced cohesion between its products and is introducing the same look over a wider range of platforms. However, the browser will come with the same powerful features users are already accustomed with, including Speed Dial, tabbed browsing, a password manager and its super, server-side compressor, Opera Turbo.

“We are unifying our products, so that users get the same experience, no matter the device or which particular Opera browser they are using,” said Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software. “With Opera Mobile 10, we are raising the expectations of how a a mobile browser should perform. Today, users require a browser as powerful as the Web, one that can handle their daily tasks as well as their computers. That’s Opera.”

There are a nice range of features users can enjoy with the new browser version, including the new interface Opera Mobile 10 beta for Windows Mobile it comes around with, the Speed Dial for favorite sites, tabbed browsing, the password manager, support for both touchscreen and keyboard navigation, save images options, reduced cost through the use of Opera Turbo, advanced compatibility options, and smooth surfing.

The best part of the deal is that the new Opera Mobile 10 beta can be enjoyed by any Windows Mobile phone user out there for free.
