Opera today launched the second beta versions of Opera Mini 5 and Opera Mobile 10, available as free downloads. In this second beta release, Opera Mini and Opera Mobile users can now enjoy popular desktop features, such as Opera Link and the Download Manager, from their mobile phones.
With Opera Link, users can synchronize personal browser settings with their Opera desktop browser, as well as all their connected devices, ensuring that their bookmarks, Speed Dial and search engines are always accessible. The Download Manager gives users a better way to control and speed up downloads to mobile phones.
Opera continues its mission to unify its browser products, and today’s beta release is no exception. Features further polished in the second beta release are the unified look and feel across Opera’s browser products, the visual bookmarks known as Speed Dial, and tabbed browsing, one of the most popular innovations in browsing history.
“For Opera, status quo is not an option. We are always improving our products, adding new functionality and features to deliver a faster and more personal Web experience,” said Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software. “Also, unifying the look and feel, regardless of device, makes it easy for anyone to get online anywhere, anytime.”
The far-reaching popularity of Opera Mini continues to grow month after month. Opera reports that almost 40 million people used Opera Mini in October, saving the consumers 9.4 billion USD per year just by choosing Opera Mini.
Download Opera Mini 5 beta 2 / Opera Mobile 10 directly to your phone by pointing your phones browser to: m.opera.com/next/
Intuitive interface
Merging the best from our desktop browser with new innovations for phones, Opera Mobile is advanced and intuitive to use.
Faster browsing
Opera Mobile 10 beta is faster at rendering pages, zooming, panning and almost everything else you do with a browser. And pages load up to 50% faster than the previous version.
Speed Dial
Get to your favorite Web page with just one click, with a set of visual bookmarks that appear when you open a new tab. To add a new page, simply click on an empty Speed Dial slot.
Tabbed browsing
Browse several Web sites at the same time. Check your email in one window, Facebook in another, and Twitter in a third, all while easily jumping from one tab to another.

I didn’t find real improvement of Opera Mini 5 Beta 2 yet, except the download function.
smooth scrolling seems to be improved in this rel.
hey guys xD
Nom on daily mobile with OM 10
No error so far! basicly the same but they added some little things.. (like you have a page to watch your dowloads)
it’s very good!! thank you, opera
I am using a Nokia 5800, I must say beta 2 is snappier than beta 1,
addition to the Tools shortcut page
> now i can see the download list,
> they have added a start page shortcut
the rendering is smoother, the RAM utilization is reduced a bit.
The keyboard letters are now a little bit smaller.
Only bug i noticed till now is, when I open the opera:config page and try searching for something it crashes!!!
Apart from that one thing missing (i don’t know if i am the only one) When you press on links there is no feedback/focus on the link I have no clue if I really pressed it or not.
will mini 5/2 work smooth with n73.
best
It is working on my Curve 8330 but I still like Bolt better.
opera mini 5 beta 2 is not stable as its prior version. this new version hurts a lot when it gets hanged.
I’m having problems with Opera Mini 5 on my Blackberry. Version 5 beta 2 was perfect. Anyone got an idea where I can find it?
