First Ovi Browser BETA for S40 (Video inside)

Nokia S40 devices have been coming preloaded with Opera Mini for a long while, but this might be coming to an end. Nokia Beta Labs have introduced the Ovi Browser for S40, which takes the same approach to browsing as Opera Mini does.

The browser is still in beta and Ovi Browser uses custom servers to open a page, compresses it and send the compressed version to your phone. Just like Opera Mini does.

If fact, at this point Ovi Browser looks very, very similar to Opera Mini 4.2 though Beta Labs didn't say if they've used Opera code and servers. The Ovi Browser beta lacks some features, but developers are working on adding new ones for the next beta so, we don't know what exactly will be included and what will be left out of the final version.
