Vlog: What Nokia/S60 Browser Needs to Steal From Opera Mini and iPhone’s Browser

May 14th, 2008 • Mark Guim • Filed Under •

I’m not a big fan of Opera Mini, but it’s got something the built-in S60 web browser doesn’t. After pressing dot in the address bar, a drop down shows up with auto completion of .com, .org, and .net. The iPhone’s browser even have a dedicated “.com” button. Come on Nokia/S60, those extra 7 keypresses in the address bar needs to be eliminated. Check out my video to see what I mean.

  • In my opinion opera (I can't say nothing about the iphone) has a much better network support.The S60 browser for example is not able to automatically configure itself for proxies,in my college with more than one proxy opera its the only solution.
  • A lot of phones are like this too, if they don't have dedicated .com or such suffix buttons, they have shortcuts. Iphones have the button for .com, opera mini has the dropdown, blackberries let you use the space bar for periods and @s (if you are sending emails), not to mention most of the formentioned phones have a qwerty keyboard (physical or not). Nokia, we want something like this built into the 95s, virtual on screen keyboard might be pretty cool too no?
  • More "wishes" here:
  • Thanks @Al. I hope that is a feature on all of the new Nokia phones.
  • Seems like Nokia already knows this and implemented it into the N96
