I love my BlackBerry, so very much, but since I'm blessed to have an iPhone as well, I try to avoid my BlackBerry's internet browser as much as humanly possible. The web browsing experience on my BB isn't nearly as chic and user-friendly as my iPhone, and most times, I just get irritated with it.

But thankfully there are downloads like Opera Mini, which make surfing the web that much more enjoyable on your cell phone. Opera Mini has just received an upgrade so in addition to checking your email, visiting your favorite social networking sites and catching up on all the latest news, users can now upload blogs and photos on-the-go as well as save pages for viewing offline later. This latest version, 4.1, is free, fast and available for download.

To download, just point your mobile's browser to Opera Mini.
