The best mobile browser in the world has a new beta, and word on the street is that it's very, very good!

I can’t imagine surfing the web without Opera Mini and that alone is one of the main reasons I stick to Symbian devices.

Click here for my first of review of Opera Mini a year and a half ago.

This new version adds tabbed browsing and thumbnails on your start page. And apparently there's better support for S60 5th Edition touch devices, another big plus...

All About Symbian conducts survey on Twitter of top 3 mobile apps, results skewed towards Twitter & Symbian.

Onto the results, from over 130 people on five smartphone platforms, all data gathered yesterday in one 18 hour period. Each person could only nominate three apps that they couldn't live without:

  • Gravity (Symbian OS) - 65 nominations
  • Google Maps (Symbian OS, basic version built into other platforms) - 31
  • Opera Mini (Java-hosted, Symbian OS, Blackberry or Windows Mobile or feature phones) - 18
  • GMail (Java-hosted, all platforms except iPhone) - 12
  • Facebook (Widget/native, depending on platform) - 10
  • Profimail (Symbian OS) - 10
  • Mobbler (Symbian OS) - 10
  • Nimbuzz (all platforms) - 10

Since I missed this survey, I'll chime in with my three must-have S60 apps:

1. Opera Mini
2. Joikuspot
3. Qik
