Hey...i?ve told you it was coming

[Apocalypso]

Yeah but for UIQ only, we know that, it is actually available for a while on all UIQ prototypes, phones Like Beibei or Paris.

[Anarion]

They also have Widget Manager available for S60 3rd edition, which means that Opera Mobile 9.5 is working quite well on S60 already. I have to say that Nokia N80 screenshots look massive compared to normal Nokia QVGA devices.

[ares07]

It should folow soon...like anarion said, widgets are already available for s60, so the full browser is near

And i can tell you, UIQ3 version is already AMAZING for a touch device...if they port it to s60 v5 it will be very good

Opera's widgets soultion seem alot messier than Nokia's widset...

[Trancedancer]

Opera can be installed on P990i, but doesn't work, it doesn't even start! How come?????

[ares07]

not enough RAM

regarding widgets...UIQ 3.3 can use them like recent s60 v3 does...on UIQ 3.0, they only work through the opera app

[H.B.Z]

Anarion, the resolution on those screenshots is awesome!!!

[Apocalypso]

Yeah, N90 was the first phone with HR screen, and it was painful experience to switch back to lower resolution and crappy QVQA screens when tghe N93 arriwed.
