This is a must download for all mobiles, especially Nokia (non 3rd ed devices). The Opera mini 4beta 3 is out and this is as close as it can get to a safari browser on a cell.
Mouse pointer, zoom, live bookmarks, rss, Landscape mode, amazingly fast due extremely low data transfer. The best mobile browsing experience i have ever had so far on any mobile. Greatest j2me app backed up by superb server side processing.
Opera Mini uses a remote server to pre-process web pages before sending them to your phone. Web content is compressed to reduce the size of data transferred, enabling handling on simpler phones and creating fast browsing at low costs.
When you go to a web page, Opera Mini will show you the overview of the page, then suggest where to begin reading. Then, Opera Mini zooms quickly in on the web page and focuses on the content you want to read.
Want to view the Web on a wider screen? Just hit * # and flip your phone to the side to enjoy browsing in Landscape mode. Change your default view to landscape by turning "Landscape mode" on inside your Settings menu. (Note that this feature is yet not supported on BlackBerry and some other devices.)

May I ask why the remark about non-3rd gen Symbian Nokia phones?
And how would you rate Opera mini compared with Opera mobile on a Symbian mobile phone?
Thanks!
The 3rd ed phones have a pretty decent default browser, which supports minimap, javascripts css to great extent.
Operamini is especially helpful because of its excellent serverside processing and compression.
Eg:- a web page of 200kb is compressed to 30kb. Hence less data transfer and faster speed. Which is not currently possible in Opera mobile, the symbian version.
Other impressive features are Landscape mode, rss live bookmarks, etc which just cant be imagined on 2nd ed series 60 phones.
Web versions Gmail, orkut, Facebook, Yahoo work effortlessly on the Opera mini.
