Opera Upgrades Mobile Browser to 8.5

Opera Software on Monday released a new version of its Web browser for Series 60 based mobile phones, such as those offered by Nokia. Opera 8.5 for S60 includes a new zoom function that lets mobile users view images and text in full size. A password manager has also been added in the update.

Other new features include customizable keyboard shortcuts, better image handling and support for more languages. Opera uses a special rendering technology to display full-format Web pages on mobile devices, keeping as much as the original design as possible. Opera 8.5 for S60 devices is available for download now.
