Nokia traditionally used to equip its S40-based models with Opera Mini. However, apparently, this practice is coming to an end. Nokia Beta Labs has demonstrated Ovi Browser for S40 platforms, which has the same functionality as Opera Mini. Browser itself is still a beta-version and in-store applications of Ovi Store are not available. This program uses a special service for the opening page, compresses it and sends the compressed form on the phone.

In fact Ovi Browser is very similar to Opera Mini 4.2, although the Nokia Beta Labs does not report on the use of Opera code in its product. At the moment this browser denies some services and features, however, is not the final version, and therefore arguing that it will receive, and what will not is too early. So far, the browser can download the compressed pages, URL, and auto filling, supports the integration of search engines (Yahoo!, Google, Bing), and has a bookmark. The test version is available on the site browser.ovi.com for phones from the list of compatible devices.
