14 DAY TRIAL // Opera, together with Helio, has just announced the first deployment of Opera Mini on a mobile service provider in the United States. As of today, Helio members can surf the Web with Opera Mini on their Ocean smartphone with a specially-tailored version of the browser designed specifically for the handset.
Available as a downloadable application from Helio's Web portal, Opera Mini is a perfect addition to the Helio Ocean, a sleek and powerful dual-slide device that offers an incredible breadth of functionality.
Opera Mini makes browsing on the Ocean even more fun and addictive with an elegant desktop-like experience that lets the users dive into the page to access the content they want. At the same time, Opera Mini serves pages at lightning speed, so it will not slow down the on-the-go mobile experience to which Helio members are accustomed.
"We're always looking to give our members their choice of great applications so we're excited to be the first service provider in the U.S. to make Opera Mini an on-deck option," said Doug Britt, Vice President of Service Management at Helio. "Opera Mini is a tremendous mobile browser. Optimized for Ocean and running on a nationwide 3G network, its a combination that's tough to match."
This comes more like a blessing for the Helio community rather than a curse, as the existing built-in browser embedded by Helio into its devices is terribly slow. There's no doubt about it, Opera Mini can revolutionize Helio users mobile Web experience. They can now enjoy all the features and fun of Opera Mini, including Opera Link, a free service that synchronizes bookmarks, Speed Dial and personal bar between all Web browsers.
