5 Mini Browsers For Mobile Phones - Session I


The fact is, modern people couldn’t live without the internet. They need the net everytime and everywhere, and they need device that can cater these needs.
Sure, laptops are small and mobile. But you can’t slid them in your pocket, can you? We still have a long way to go before the technology can create a truly mobile laptops. For now we have to settle with our cellphones as the most mobile technological gadget that we can bring everywhere.
Unfortunately, most cellphones’ browser will give you painful net experiences. Unless you own an iPhone, you would probably need alternative browser(s) for you cellphones. So, here are what in my opinions best mini browsers out there. If you’re looking for am alternative mini web browser for your mobile phone make then give one of them try.
Opera Mini
Opera Mini has been mentioned here before, but let me give you a few quick words to refresh your memory.
With about 20 million users, this browser is perhaps the most popular mobile mini browser out there. So popular that it comes preinstalled in most modern cellphones. Some people even consider it as their native mobile browser.
Superb compression, extremely fast, skinnable and able to play online video are few of the traits that makes the latest version of Opera Mini – v 4.2 – even better than before. It’s available for free on the Opera Mini Download Page or directly from your cellphones.



UCWEB Mobile Browser

This veteran mini browser is very popular in China but unknown to most people in Europe and the United States. The latest version is 6.3 (while Opera Mini is still 4.2), and available for free in Java and Symbian.
It has all the mobile browser’s features users would need and more. The most noticable is a password manager and tabbed browsing. Other features include:
  • Advanced search function with support for various search engines and the ability to sort the results.
  • Email service which supports many online email mailboxes and different types of attachment formats.
  • Download function to help users download files from the phone. One thing to consider though, usually the internet data connection through your phone provider will cost a lot more than a home connection.
  • RSS subscription support
  • Personal data management to synchronize bookmarks between phone, web and PC.
