Nokia Handsets The Most Popular Worldwide For Mobile Web Use

Wed, 23 Jul 2008

Nokia mobile phones are the globe’s most popular platform for surfing the web, new research has revealed.

The latest ‘State of the Mobile Web’ report by browser company Opera placed Nokia handsets first, second and third in the chart for mobile data that utilised its Opera Mini browser - a Java based application intended for conventional handsets rather than smartphones .

The Nokia N70 topped the worldwide chart as the most popular handset for internet on the move, followed by the Nokia N73 and the Nokia 6300 . Next up was the Sony Ericsson K750i and the Blackberry 8310 .

However, Blackberry handsets dominated the chart for mobile users in the US, with all but one place of the top ten handsets going to RIM manufactured phones – with the exception being the LG LX260 in eight place.

The monthly report also revealed that mobile web usage is increasing among mobile owners in the UK, with over 3.2 billion pages viewed in June – an average of 223 pages per person and a 9.4 per cent increase on the previous month.

Opera communications manager Julie Sangani commented: "The trend we see is that users want the full web on their phone ."

"With the right experience, many more people will use the web on their phone . We believe that there is one web and that the experience of accessing the web regardless of what content, on your handset or on your Nintendo Wii, should be the same."
