Optimised browser includes the same feature set as the Java-based version.
While Opera Mini traditionally requires Java, the new Windows Mobile version does not, so now the browser can work on any Windows Mobile phone.
Features include tabbed browsing, password manager, bookmarks and Speed Dial. As with all Opera mobile browsers, this one can compress data traffic by up to 90 per cent,
"Windows Mobile deserves a mobile browser that looks better, handles better and delivers better than the default browser," said Dag Olav Norem, VP of products at Opera Software.
"Even though Opera has 50 million satisfied Opera Mini users, we always seek ways to improve our browser for each and every mobile phone user out there. Now, we are pleased to offer the world's most popular mobile Web browser as a native Windows Mobile application."
