Opera Software has announced that Telefónica Móviles de España has selected Opera Mini and Opera Mobile to power the full Internet for its new Web service "Navega". With Opera, Telefónica's Navega subscribers can access to the full Internet from their mobile phones, and the Navega-branded Opera Mini and Opera Mobile Web browsers will launch on Nokia N70, Sony Ericsson K610i, Sony Ericsson Z610i and Sony Ericsson K800, with several more to come.
Opera Mini provides Telefónica's Navega subscribers with all their favorite Web sites while on the move. This means that more customers will now have access to the data they want, such as local Spanish search, community sites, news, webmail or even movie schedules, right out of their pockets.
"The Internet continues to play a larger role in people's lives, and operators, such as Telefónica Móviles de España, are recognizing the demand for the full Internet on mobile phones," says Kai Leppänen, VP Mobile, Opera Software. "It's been proven time and again that browser-based Internet services significantly drive higher non-voice ARPU as well as increases operator end user satisfaction. Opera Mini represents a convenient, easy-to-use and cost effective data service that drives data traffic with lower OPEX and CAPEX costs."
"This major partnership with Telefónica Móviles de España is an outstanding testament to the quality of Opera's market leading mobile browsing technologies. More significantly, this announcement demonstrates our ongoing commitment to meet and exceed the expectations of our tier one operator customers globally," said Mr. Leppänen.
