For those of you living on the other side of the pond, today was like Christmas for you. The Storm was officially released from Vodafone today and reports/reviews are already coming in from the UK. Are we jealous over here? You betcha ... but we only have a week to covet from afar By this time next week, the Storm will have hit the US and I can't wait for all the stackers to show off their new toys!

Applications
Opera Mini 4.2 Beta Available
New, from Opera Mini:
Skins: Personalize Opera Mini by choosing a new colorful skin. We have reintroduced the popular skinning feature from Opera Mini 3.
Performance: Opera Mini 4.2 can use our newly established server park in the US. This means significantly faster page downloads for our users in the Americas and Asia-Pacific region. Users in the rest of the world will also experience faster page downloads since we’ve reduced the load on our other servers.
Video: We are working to make video content available on more phones through Opera Mini. If you have a new Sony Ericsson or Nokia phone, the chance is high that you can take Opera Mini for a spin on m.youtube.com.
Sync your Notes: The handy Notes functionality from the Opera Desktop Web browser just got more portable through Opera Link. All of your notes are available in Opera Mini directly from the Bookmarks menu.
