OSLO, Norway-Opera Software continued its advances in the mobile phone market with the signing of a new deal with handset maker Kyocera Wireless Corp. Kyocera said it will sell the ZTE V91 and LU PS-900 mobile phones in China with the Opera Internet browser.
Opera, which recently filed for an initial public offering in Norway, has racked up several major mobile phone deals with the likes of Nokia Corp., Sony Ericsson and others.
“There is one basic reason why WAP has failed and that is because there is simply not enough content available for the end users. The users want content and they want this easily accessible,” said Lars Boilesen, Opera’s executive vice president sales and distribution. “Now they can get the full Internet content on their mobile and exactly as easily accessible as on their PC. By continuously focusing on usability and innovation, Opera signals to millions of people how the full Internet can be enjoyed to the max on small screens.”
