The new Diamond will receive a modified version of the Internet browser

HTC has announced that its new Diamond mobile phone will receive a newly modified version of the popular Opera Internet browser. The customised version of Opera 9.5 has been altered so that the Diamond can utilise it correctly. Particulars include the alignment of websites so that the sites can be correctly displayed on the screen.

There's also been alternations to the ‘reflow' system which stops the left-right browsing required to view paragraphs in some websites. The new version of Opera 9.5 also makes multi-tasking on the handset easier by enhancing the tab browser system plus the addition of productivity tools.

Jon von Tetzchner, CEO of Opera Software said, "Opera Mobile 9.5 on the HTC Touch Diamond will bring to customers the most powerful Web browser yet on a mobile phone. Opera is on the road to give mobile Web browsing a complete facelift and an elevated user experience. This is just the beginning."
