Previously Opera has released Opera Mobile 10 Beta for Symbian S60 mobile phones. And now Opera announced the latest beta version of Opera Mobile 10 Beta 2.
There are new features and many enhancements in Opera Mobile 10 beta 2, for both Windows Mobile and Symbian S60, including: download manager, Opera Link, a more finger-friendly UI for touchscreen devices, better memory management, Column snapping also on touch, Fix for mobile view crash and so on.

There are some known issues for Symbian S60 include:
