If Opera are so upset with Nokia, why are Opera still giving away versions of their mobile browser for so many new Nokia models (I'm not talking the Java one here - this is full-on Opera for Symbian)?

Exactly.

Opera makes money by selling Opera, good money too because it is, at the end of the day, a fantastic browser. Yet, for many Nokia phones, they give it away - something which would make those Nokia phones look even more atractive than they usually do.

If Opera is pissed off with Nokia, why would they want to do Nokia a favour? They charge for Windows Mobile versions, don't they? So why not charge for all Symbian versions?

If they still have a deal with Nokia, then MSMob is not giving the whole truth. If they don't have a deal with Nokia, then they're clearly not as pissed as MSMob is saying and therefeore, he is misleading and not giving the whole truth.

At the end of the day, MSMob is not giving the whole truth and is happy to mislead people.
