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

Not bad! Should have more impact than the Opera Mini vs. IPhone thing a while back.Though I thought that one was ok, it certainly had a very nerdy feel about it. This one is a lot more mainstream though. And that what you need.
Good job guys!

Only thing that is misleading is that the “works just like my computer at home” bit would be disappointing for the Flash crowd. Unfortunately that is one big thing that the iPhone has over OM.

@kftgr
to clarify, for YouTube, at least.

Not bad. And way better than previous one.
Just one thought: the sounds of flying phones can be not so generic and not so prominent.

Like, nice! Very enjoyable. Good choice of a thumbnail image for the clip, very viral
One think though: I wouldn’t think an artist would enjoy that logo. See http://nontroppo.org/test/Op7/Opera-logo-critique.png

Nice commercial! (Relatively) Short and to the point. Will it air on TV stations? Having more adopters of Mini increases the likelihood of Opera adopters on the desktop.

I like this movie, as well as the previous one. We want it on YouTube, to spread

Nice… 70 seconds, too much for TV ?
Next time address privacy issue too. Seems like Americans are more worried than others
