A great thing about Nokia devices is the open support for 3rd party applications, both within the Ovi Store and through outside locations. I received word this morning that Opera Mobile has come to Maemo in early beta form and can be downloaded now for your Nokia N800/N810/N900. After seeing a Tweet on this I immediately popped my SIM back in my N900 and download the new web browser to give it a go. I plan to work on a video review and post it later here on the site along with more thoughts on actual usage.

So far, I am pretty impressed with the browser and was very pleased to see it looks like the other Opera Mobile versions on other smartphone platforms. I like seeing Opera Turbo and Opera Link support and have my bookmarks all synced up already. The browser appears to be quite fast and works well so far. The one thing I have not found is a way to zoom in closer to the text so I will be searching for the zoom controls soon.

We now have the awesome default browser, Firefox Mobile, and Opera Mobile to choose from on the N900. With these three options, there should be no limitations to browsing on the go with the N900.
