Today we released Opera Mini 10.1 beta for Symbian/S60 keypad (series 3) and touchscreen (series 5) devices.

The main new features include:

  • Geolocation. Web sites can now query the location of your device. End user controls access on a site by site basis.
  • Carakan JavaScript engine (w/o JIT)
  • Vega graphics library
  • Update of Opera Core and numerous bug fixes


Download Opera Mobile 10.1 Beta for S60 directly to your phone at m.opera.com/next.

Known issues in the 10.1 Beta:

  • Somewhat higher memory usage, especially on JavaScript intensive sites
  • Due to timing issues with different geolocation information providers (WiFi, cell towers, GPS) first request may have poor precision
  • Fast scrolling on Touch devices not optimized for page rendering
  • Opera Link may not work when using APN with a proxy configured
  • Some SVGT images may appear to freeze on Nokia E-series phones
  • If SIM card is not registered, or phone is in flight mode, first geolocation request in a browser session may fail


As always, we welcome your feedback here in our forum. Thanks!
