Switzerland’s Swisscom has selected the Opera Mini browser for web browsing to its mobile phone customers. The Opera Mini will be available for download soon over the air (OTA) on most Swisscom-operated phones.

“We are the leaders in providing the Internet to Switzerland. We are proud of our advanced HSPA (High Speed Packet Access) network that currently covers 90 percent of the Swiss population,” says Thomas Hüter, Head of Internet Experience, Swisscom. “We wanted the most feature-rich and fast browser available that will work on all the Swisscom mobile phones on the market today. Opera Mini has proven its value to millions of users all over the world, and we want to offer our customers a great mobile browsing experience.”

So if you need to browse faster and more cost efficiently by reducing the amount of data transferred, the Opera Mini may be the right choice.
