Can you guess what Make It Default Browser does?
Yes, we suspect you probably can – it makes Opera the default browser on your Android phone, if you were so impressed by Opera Mini 5 that you want to use the over-complicated, oddly-rendering browser as your Android default web reader instead of the standard Android one.
Simply download the tool, then the next time you open a web link you’ll be asked if you want to use Opera Mini 5 to do that from now on. You’d think this sort of feature would be standard, wouldn’t you?
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.

/ April 27, 2010Thanks. I love Opera browser, and it does not render “oddly” for me (no more than the webkit one), so it sounds like you were doing something wrong, or expecting too much.
for 99% of the time I use Opera on my Hero, so this app is VERY handy.

Well, it’s great that the Android platform can accommodate a good variety of preferences.
I guess.
