If you are not satisfied with the native BlackBerry browser you may be interested to learn that Opera Mini has been been updated to version 7. The browser now offers a 'Smart Page' which gives you all your news from your Facebook and Twitter feeds which is a pretty nifty feature. As always Opera Mini crunches data so if you are on a data limited plan this may well be a great solution for you.

In addition, Opera released its State of the Mobile Web Report, which revealed that India has overtook Russia as the largest Opera Mini country, ranked by unique users per month. In less than a year, India has gone from being the third-largest country in the Opera Mini rankings to being number one, ahead of Russia and Indonesia. You can see the full report here.

Despite the fact the new BlackBerry 7 browser is leaps and bounds above previous versions, not everyone has a BlackBerry 7 device to make use of. Some folks out there may even have a BlackBerry 7 device and still want to use a different browser. Opera is aware of this fact and now -- they've made Opera Mini 6.5 available for download. In this release you'll find better data optimization which can help reduce data usage, when compared to other browser Opera uses only 10% of the data they use. If you're watching out for your data consumption, that's quite a bit. Thanks, Dennis!
