Opera has announced some good news for Nokia Symbian Series 60 smartphone users that are looking for a new browser. Opera 10.1 for the device has now launched. The new browser brings with it some really nice updates for the user to enjoy and make their browsing experience better.

Those new updates include significantly faster JavaScript performance for speedy browsing. The new browser is also marking the debut of the Carakan JavaScript engine, the same engine that drives the Opera desktop browser. The latest version of the browser claims to be nine times faster than Opera Mobile 10.1 in SunSpider JavaScript testing.

The browser also brings support for Geolocation so maps and travel apps will know where you are to provide relevant content for your needs. The 10.1 version of Opera Mobile browser can be downloaded now for Symbian^3, S60 3rd and 5th editions.
