Browser company Opera has signed a deal with telco T-Mobile to offer a customized version of the My Opera Community, which lets users blog, post photos, join groups and forums, all the things communities do. This marks the entrance of Opera into the burgeoning and much-hyped mobile community market. Opera has a much larger percentage of the mobile browser market than the PC browser market, and while it could be accessed over the mobile web any time earlier this month the page was optimized for mobile devices. T-Mobile is the first carrier to integrate My Opera into its service—it has integrated it with its web’n’walk mobile web service which was the first to offer a customized version of Opera Mini.
Features for the community service include mobile photoblogging directly from the web’n’walk Opera Mini browser, sharing blogs and photo albums between my.opera.com and T-Mobile users, and a dedicated T-Mobile forum in the community which all registered T-Mobile customers are automatically added to. They get 300 MB of storage as well.
