Opera Mini – A browser worth the attention

Although I would always prefer the built in Nokia Symbian browsers (Java will always be a synonym to S-L-O-W for me), the concept of Opera Mini is a top solution right now for mobile phones that do not have regular browsers built in on their phones, and for others who like to save on cash when surfing on an expensive GPRS data rate (like me). Using this tiny JAR file, I can browse the full web without having to count the kilobytes that just fly by when visiting a few pages (although I do turn off picture displaying - much less traffic). The only thing that gets my goose is the lack of support for custom fonts that I can install on my phone... Pity.

Here are some screenshots of the newest beta - 4.1:
