Opera Software has a special treat in store for all Indian mobile users on the Tata DOCOMO network. These users now have a opportunity to boost their mobile browsing with a custom-made Opera Mini mobile web browser. As part of its partnership with Tata DOCOMO, Opera has customized Opera Mini with quick links to “Dive in” and content sites especially selected for Tata DOCOMO subscribers. Tata DOCOMO customers can download this version of Opera Mini directly m.opera.com.
With Opera Mini, webpages load at speeds comparable to a desktop experience. Opera Mini compresses data to as little as 10% of its original size before sending it to the handset; as a result, content is delivered faster, and users can save data costs. For cost-conscious consumers, this means they can access the web more often, for the same price. Opera Mini’s offers features such as Smart Page, Speed Dial, tabbed browsing, password manager, download manager and Opera Link, creating a smooth and fun browsing experience.
Commenting on the partnership, Rishi Mohan Malhotra, Head VAS for Tata DOCOMO, said, “Tata DOCOMO has been at the forefront of providing a superior mobile internet experience to our customers. We are sure that, with the experience enhancements like faster browsing and convenient discovery of content that Opera Mini provides, Tata DOCOMO subscribers can truly experience world-class mobile internet browsing like never before.”
“According to a recent survey among mobile web users in India, which we conducted along with On Device Research, speed and ease of use were the key drivers for selecting a mobile browser, so it isn’t surprising that Opera Mini’s speed and user-friendly interface have made it the most popular browser in India,” added Sunil Kamath, VP for South Asia, Opera Software. “Partnering with Tata DOCOMO will help us extend Opera Mini’s reach to more users, whether they use basic phones or smartphones.”
Opera Mini is designed to work on all kinds of phones. Tata DOCOMO customers can visit m.opera.com to download the Tata DOCOMO/ Opera co-branded version of Opera Mini. This page automatically detects the mobile operator, operating system and model number of a user’s mobile device; then, it offers the most suitable version of Opera Mini for download.
