Name: UCWEB

Description: Mobile Web Browser

Summary: There are a few mobile web browsers and choosing which one to use poses the same challenge as choosing a web browsers for your PC. In my view the pre-installed one is like IE, opera is well opera then this is Mozilla. The level of compatibility and with all the options are customizable, the big thing that this browser pulls of is the download manger which till now was unheard of in mobiles. UCWEB almost combines all the greatest abilities of all the other web browsers so its a real threat to all the others. The best thing to note about this web browser is that it has so many abilities but its still able to keep a clean and easy to use interface. All in all UCWEB is a stunning web browser and I think that this should make most other web browsers learn a thing or two.

Overview: I know many people would be inclined just stick with the original pre-installed one but don’t I would recommend either UCWEB or Skyfire both of these are faster and easier to use over any other web browser. I have a good mind to say that that UCWEB is better than Skyfire but I haven’t been using it long enough to pass a full judgement but its a real winner. To top it of its free so you’ll have to be crazy not to download. Read more

Nokia N96 App Review – Opera Mini

Opera Mini home page

Name: Opera Mini Version: 4.2

Description: Mobile web browser

Summary: If you haven’t heard of Opera Mini or haven’t got round to installing a different browser on your handset, now is the time to do so. Opera Mini is, as their website puts it, built for speed. It increases speed by compressing web pages by up to 90% of its original size, making your mobile browsing a pleasure.

When compared to the built-in browser on the N96, the difference is easily recognised. The layout is simple and user friendly, offering a range of settings to tweak for your preference.

One of its best features is the way it automatically adjusts the screen to fit the text displayed on the web page, reducing the need for constant scrolling. Other features include speed dial, which assigns shortcuts, and Opera link, which allows you to synchronise your bookmarks if you have Opera running on your PC. This browser is completely free and is available for download from the Opera website.

Rating: 9/10
