A video has recently been posted on IntoMobile which shows the Nokia N97 (Symbian S60) running Opera Mobile 10 Beta, the browser has been optimized for touchscreen phones, however can still be used on handset without a touchscreen display.
The video in my opinion is not as impressive as yesterdays post which showed the Nokia N900 running Mozilla, however that said there have been some vast improvements made.
The browser has a very similar look to how Opera looks on your PC, and also features some very similar functionality, for ease-of-use the browser has a password manager, and when calling up a new tab it takes you to the speed-dial screen.
Like the Mozilla video yesterday the broswer shows open tabs as thumbnails, this allows you to select the correct tab easily.
If you would like to try out the Beta check out IntoMobile’s article, you can also see the video demo on their site as well as below.

“The video in my opinion is not as impressive as yesterdays post which showed the Nokia N900 running Mozilla”
Uh, why not? What makes that video impressive, but not this one?
Biased, anyone?
Well in my opinion a couple of the features offered in the Mozilla browser were far superior to what this video showed, yesterdays video showed how Firefox on the N900 integrated with someones Firefox on their home computer, which allowed instant access to recently closed tabs on the home PC.
The standard layout and performance looks identical, but I was impressed by the Mozilla Firefox functionality offered in the video, whereas all of the features showed in this video were expected.
Heh.
Opera Mini has been offering synchronization of history and bookmarks for ages. It just hasn’t been implemented in Mini 5/Mobile 10 yet.
But in Opera Mini 4 it’s a standard feature, not just an experimental add-on.
