Opera 8.5 for S60 for Series 60 features zoom and password manager

Opera Software ASA continued their good work in the web browser market and has launched their latest update for the Symbian Series 60 (S60). Opera 8.5 for S60 boasts high speed, Opera’s wide range of features, and a new password manager for automatic login to sites. In addition, this update also brings in some features like Opera’s advanced zoom-on-page functionality to this platform for the first time.

Opera 8.5 for S60 now also supports customizable keypad shortcuts, enhanced image handling, and more extensive language support. Some of the new languages, which are supported in this new release, are Hong Kong Chinese, Indonesian, Russian, and Swedish. The browser also benefits from the Opera’s unique Small-Screen Rendering (SSRâ„¢) technology, which dynamically reformats full Web pages for mobile devices to give the best possible user-experience.

Jon S. von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software said in a statement about this software release: “Our predicted shift in browsing habits is finally coming true. More and more people are accessing the Internet from other devices, including mobile phones, rather than just their computers. Web browsing has become a major selling point for new handsets, and with the latest release of Opera 8.5 for S60 we are continuing our legacy of innovation and re-affirming our position as the leading browser vendor across platforms and devices.”
