Did anyone see this. Opera Mini has "signed a deal to take over the browser building unit of Microsoft's Nokia mobile phone unit and reported second-quarter earnings above expectations on Thursday, sending its shares sharply higher."

It sounds like Opera is doing quite well with the mini for phones.

And its estimated earnings are going up up up . . .

If i undestood it correctly, the deal is valid only for symbiam based phones. So no Opera on Windows Phone yet.

Opera Mini for s40 phones with maximum 4MB heap size, another dream come true. That's a polite remark not a marketing statement.

Maybe so, but this article perhaps explains the Opera coup better by pointing out that the Opera browser now has 100 million active android users.

which refers to this Opera release.
