With the internet connectivity becoming an indispensable feature in our lives as well as the growing demand of the net browsing feature amongst users, Spice Mobiles has tied up with Opera Software for their latest Mobile Browser feature- Opera Mini on their GPRS & Java enabled phones. This tie up is yet another endeavour to constantly offer innovation to its consumers. The Opera Mini will be used as the Web browser on the upcoming mobile phones from Spice Mobile in India.

With this endeavor, Spice Mobile's customers will now be able to access all their favorite websites with Opera Mini that promises a rich yet fast browsing experience. The browser will be pre – loaded on all GPRS & Java phones to enable its instant usage by the purchaser allowing access to any conceivable website.
