Opera Mini goes Aquatic

July 30, 2010 · by Aleksander Aas

We all know Vodafone loves Opera, and they are not afraid to show it. In fact they wanted to do something special in beautiful Egypt this summer. Giving away Mini Coopers to lucky contest winners was not enough though, so they made an aquatic Mini to promote Opera Mini!

We hope to get hold of some video from the event in the weeks to come.

Aquatic Minis promoting Opera Mini!

Meet the Vodafone girls!

(...) so they made an aquatic Mini to promote Opera Mini!

I'm blind or there is no Opera logo? Mini != Opera Mini... All I see is Vodafone promoting itself.

There is Opera Mini on the device screen in the picture sticked on Mini side. But you are right, there is no Opera Mini logo...

Vodaphone's logo looks new to me and I like it. it is quite unique and they are their own business so yes they are promoting themselves!

Are you sure? They really don't seem to be showing it here.

Would you start using Opera Mini by seeing a non-captioned picture of it? How could you ever search for the application to start using it? I know there are services like TinEye but normal people doesn't know about it! And the picture doesn't show one Opera Mini features to say it was doing marketing...

Actually they are having a draw on the minis, the more you use their vodafone enhanced opera mini browser the more your chances to win. And if you spot the vodafone crew with their mini, you may win other stuff plus your chances tripled in the draw. I already got 11 chances in the draw and looking around for the crew
