Of course, Asa is pushing an agenda, he is not interesed in the well-being of Opera and its users, in fact he looks for bad publicity towards Opera by means of affirmations based in his ignorance about like Opera, as company, works. Therefore, opinions from Asa not have to be taken seriously Asa always tell the truth………… the truth based in his opinion biased ALWAYS against Opera.

Opera Sofware should set some relationships in the down side of America too. Cool

Here in Colombia, the Sony Ericsson K550i doesn’t have the Opera mini, instead, comes with NetFront preinstalled.

Opera Sofware should set some relationships in the down side of America too.

I think it is nice to see you opening up, and writing sincerely; following the blog (which we know you ALWAYS did); but even following the comments! Your input, I can tell you, is valuable to the readers, I hope to the writers as well!!! Thanks! Asa – I think your input is extremely important, and can help Opera/watch out a lot.

Opera is about the browsing experience, not about money and stocks..." Wrong attitude ;) Opera desktop is far better than the reward (2% market share). Browsing, experienced by few, is not a success, thus not a goal... Focus on the money, at all times. Build what market really wants, to finance development and secure growth... Like Opera Mini. It makes carriers, phone manufacturers, and content providers richer, thus willing to share profits... ;). As for topic. Telenor, the *birthplace* of Opera, has controlling stakes in carriers in emerging markets, like Pannon (Hungary) and GrameenPhone (Bangladesh). Now Opera partners. However, The Russian carrier VimpelCom is also under Telenor influence. Opera got MegaFon (Russia), why not VimpelCom ? @sc, Motorola Q9 got Opera Mobile preinstalled. “… Opera is about the browsing experience, not about money and stocks…”

Contrary to your assertion that "Opera is about the browsing experience, not about money and stocks" I'd encourage you to follow these reports since they give you a view of Opera as it would like itself to be seen by its real shareholders (actual stock shareholders.) The reports talk about quarter over quarter, year over year, and multi-year trends of market share, revenue, partners (including all of the pre-install partners), distribution, etc. - A Daniel, the financial reports cover a lot more than financials.
