Opera lands contract to infect Samsung handsets

by Darren Murph posted Dec 22nd 2006 at 4:10PM

Continuing along Opera's silent, yet somewhat noticeable pursuit of conquering the mobile browser realm, the firm has sealed a deal with Samsung "to provide Internet browsers for its advance mobile telephones." Similar to the renditions already found on Windows Mobile Pocket PC, Blackberry / Treo, and basically every other handset out there, the browser will reformat pages for optimized mobile viewing and give Samsung owners one less thing to download when setting up their phone. Interestingly, the licensing deal is "per phone sold," but there's no information on just how much coinage will be changing hands when all this goes down.

Opera is one great browser. I use it on my Nokia 6680 and it has been very good. It is fast and renders well on the phone. I hear that Access Netfront is a very good browser for handhelds but have to personal experience with it. I would like to see how Opera compares with Access Netfront
