Hi there! My name is Simon Hunt, and I work with the Mobile Solutions team. We have some terrific news to share: Ovi now includes a new browser that is now available to free download from http://browser.ovi.com (use your mobile device to access the link). The new Browser for Ovi is an application that enables quick, easy-to-use mobile web browsing on Series 40 devices all around the world and especially in the emerging markets. The browser gives Series 40 users the best internet experience. Now, Series 40 owners can experience a great web browsing experience, minus the price tag of a smartphone and data charges.

Nokia helps value-driven users get on-line and get more out of the internet with the new Browser for Ovi that seamlessly combines advanced compression and optimization technology and Ovi services that makes the internet easier, faster and less costly to use. Web pages load faster and you get more browsing for your money with data savings compression levels that you choose. The new Browser for Ovi is the easiest way to use the internet. You can get to search and your favourites with the fewest clicks instead of hunting through menus.

Interesting tidbit: the top country for users at the moment is India, followed by Indonesia and Vietnam. The level of activity in those markets demonstrates that there is demand for a better web browsing solution and that users without smartphones are ready to embrace the internet.

The new Browser for Ovi is available to download on popular Nokia Series 40 phones including: 2700 Classic, 2730 Classic, 3120 Classic, 3600 Slide, 5130 XpressMusic, 5220 Xpressmusic, 5310 XpressMusic, 5330 Mobile TV Edition, 5330 Xpressmusic, 5610, 6300i, 6303, 6500 Slide, 6500 Classic, 6600 Slide, 6700 Classic, 7210 Supernova, 7900 Prism and X3.

Finally, a peek at the future: we’re preparing for a commercial release early next year, and you’ll see improvements along the way. The new Browser for Ovi will be pre-installed on many Nokia Series 40 phones beginning in 2011.
