I'm surprised. This could be what Netscape intended to do with their desktop browser, only on mobile phones.

Which is pretty darn big.

I'm trying to understand the "Plans" portion of the title... The Opera Platform is available now on Symbian Series 60 phones and has been out for a while. What I would like to see is Opera supporting the Palm based Treo line of smartphones.
