Opera Software and T-Mobile have agreed on equipping the new T-Mobile SDA II Windows Mobile Smartphone with the Opera browser as part of T-Mobile's "Web'n'Walk" offering. The SDA II is the first commercial deployment of the Opera browser for the Windows Mobile 2003 Smartphone platform, following its public release on 30 June 2005.
T-Mobile's SDA II sports a large (320x240 pixels) QVGA display and comes loaded with typical Windows Mobile applications such as e-mailing, PDA functionality and a media player in addition to the Opera Web browser.
Opera 8 for Windows Mobile Smartphone supports all major Web standards, including CSS2, DOM 2 and JavaScript. Based on Opera's new core code, Opera 8 for Windows Mobile also includes the latest version of Opera's Small-Screen Rendering which dynamically reformats Web pages to fit the width of any screen, eliminating the need for horizontal scrolling.
Web'n'Walk is an initiative to grow data services into a mass market by giving people unrestricted access to the full Internet and Web-based services on their mobile phones, instead of limiting access to a walled-garden mobile portal.
