Opera Software has released the latest version of its Opera Mobile browser for Symbian Series 60 (S60) handsets. Opera 8.5 for S60 comes with a new password manager for automatic log-in to sites. For the first time, the browser also features Opera's advanced zoom-on-page functionality which means that users can zoom in or out to view images and text.

Opera 8.5 for S60 also includes customizable keypad shortcuts, enhanced image handling and more extensive language support. Series 60 users will benefit from Opera's unique Small-Screen Rendering (SSRT) technology, which dynamically reformats full Web pages for mobile devices to give the best possible user-experience. SSR keeps as much of the original page design and layout as possible while gently adapting the page to fit the width of the screen, eliminating the need to scroll around horizontally.

Opera's Web browser has been shipping on various Nokia and other S60 handsets since 2003, and will continue to be available on future models.
