Opera Software has just released the beta version of its Opera browser for mobile phones. It goes by the name of Opera Mini 4 beta, but has been codenamed Dimension. So, even if you don’t own a smart phone, you can still browse the Web on the ordinary cell phone using this browser.

The Opera Mini 4 Beta browser has a number of cool features that makes navigating the Web as well as individual pages a lot easier on mobile phones.

A great feature included in the Opera Mini 4 Beta browser is a ‘zoom’ function that is based on the feature that Opera included in its Nintendo Wii version. So, when you zoom in, the Opera Mini browser snaps to the page content that you wish to see clearly and allows for very smooth scrolling.

Also, the Norwegian company has claimed that its Opera Mini 4 Browser is twice as fast as any similar offering in the market today.

Basically, the Opera Mini 4 browser works by gathering pages through the opera servers and then shrinks them down and optimizes them so that they can be viewed in full in their original format on your phone.

Opera Mini 4 Beta is available as a free download from here for most mobile phones including BlackBerry and Palm devices. However, you will have manually install this browser for such smartphones.
