Low and mid-priced handsets to get mobile internet on the go.
Vodafone has signed an agreement with Opera Software to develop a custom-made version of the Mini mobile browser.As part of the global framework agreement, selected Vodafone operating companies will be able to pre-embed a customised version of Opera Mini on Java-based portfolio handsets or encourage customers to download it themselves.
In early trials in Vodafone Egypt, more than 400,000 customers downloaded the product in a month.
Vodafone says its customers will benefit from full web-browsing on Java mobile phones as well as an icon-based display that is easy to personalise.
In addition, users will be able to take advantage of a zoom feature which automatically fits the mobile screen and, on selected handsets, the ability to view video content from sites such as YouTube.
