Interesting Opera Mini banners — post them to your blogs

Published December 14th, 2006 6:35 PM EST By Daniel Goldman

These Opera Mini pictures below are not new, they’ve been around since last April Fools Day, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen them, and I’m sure many of you would like to see them again.

I think these Opera Mini banners are great and a bit flashy. Why don’t you post these pictures on your blog or website with a link to download the free Opera Mini browser, and help spread Opera Mini. (Please copy the images to your hosting provider, don’t suck up my bandwidth - thanks).

I’ll send you a free Opera t-shirt, if you’re one of the first 50 people to email me a link to your blog/website containing any of these Opera Mini pictures.

    Nooooooooooooo…….

    Opera MINI has come a long way, since then… These typical Norwegian *underwear humour* pictures… are NOT relevant, anymore…
    Remember, eg. Nokia 6300 is shipped with Opera Mini in Q1 07… Others will have to follow, the leader… NOW, that’s the working Marketing angle… Tell phone producers, not underwear sellers… ;)

    Investor, there are many angles to marketing. Phone manufacturers are just one segment of Opera Mini’s market. Having said that, this is not an official Opera marketing campaign, it’s just my personal one (on my personal blog).

    Tobbi, if you send me an email now, you’ll still be within the first 50 people.

    Also, this is not just for the USA, it’s wherever Opera fans live. :)

    The 2nd one is perfect. I use Opera Mini in 95% of the time sitting on the crapper.

    @Daniel :

    “Investor, there are many angles to marketing…”

    My point beeing, not a good idea to market Opera this way in eg. *muslim* territory… (*active* mobile phone stuck in the underwear, and comment… *good vibrations*)…
    The next 20 million OM users, scheduled for 2007, are probably not from the *freaking* west…

    Anyway, thought Asia, Africa, and Eastern part of the Globe, was OM prime targets, to establish the Opera brand… in *cannot afford PC, thus using OM for internet access*… territory… ???

    However, as you say, this is your *private* … *garage sale*… of Opera posters… ;)

About Opera


Q: What is Opera?
A: Opera is one of the most powerful Web browsers around. A Web browser is the program that allows you to view Web pages. Opera is well known for innovation for PC browsers and bringing the full web to mobile phones and devices.

Q: Is Opera free?
A: Absolutely free.

Q: Why should I download a browser? Doesn't my computer already come with one for free?
A: It's about getting more out of the time you spend on the internet. Opera is designed to be much faster than these browsers and gives you powerful features that the default browser lacks. Default browsers like Internet Explorer are also more likely to be subjected to dangerous software such as viruses and spyware.

Q: Will Opera keep me safe from fraudulent websites and malicious hackers?
A: According to Secunia, a respected firm that tracks security in browsers, Opera has the best reputation and track record when it comes to browser security. Keeping our users safe from security vulnerabilities, fraudulent websites, and malicious hackers is a top priority for Opera. Opera is maintained by hundreds of engineers, developers and security experts who are constantly looking to make the browser even safer.

Q: Doesn't Opera copy all of their features from other browsers?
A: Absolutely not. In fact, many of the features that are popular in other browsers today were invented and pioneered by Opera a long time ago. Opera invented the precursor to tabs (in 1994), Page Zoom (1994), was the first browser to block pop-up ads (2000), first to add a Search field in the browser toolbar (2000), Sessions (1996), deleting private data (2000), Mouse Gestures (2000), User JavaScript (2005), BitTorrent support (2005), Widgets (2006), Speed Dial (2007), and much more.

Q: Does Opera support extensions, such as those found in Firefox?
A: Much of the functionality provided through Firefox extensions is already built directly into Opera, so you don't have to download additional extensions in Opera. In addition, Opera is highly customizable and supports all standard plug-ins.

Q: Can I also use Opera on my mobile phone?
A: Yes. And your Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS or almost any connected device and mobile phones. Opera Mobile oftens comes preinstalled from the manufacturers, but if it doesn't you can install Opera Mini which runs on nearly all phones.

Q: This all sounds great, so how do I download Opera?
A: -- Opera on your computer
-- Opera Mini on your phone
-- Opera Mobile on your phone
