Fresh from his last great Maemo 5 Theme, Tehkseven’s bought us another great creation in the form of his “Just Black” super lightweight theme : The theme weighs in at just 280Kb and uses default icons to keep its size down. I’ve always been a bit bothered by themes that are too big, and might hamper the performance of my device. Just Black is a refreshingly light theme that makes your S60 Symbian device look stylish, without affecting its performance at all. Not to mention, it looks pretty snazzy on a black color device like my N82 and N97. You can download Just Black over at TehkSeven’s Website.

Earlier today, Opera went ahead and released their Opera Mobile v10 Beta Browser for S60 Symbian Mobile devices. What’s the difference between this and Opera Mini 5 ? Well for one thing, its a native Symbian application so its much faster than the Java Opera Mini app. Plus because of this, its also more responsive, uses the battery more efficiently and has a couple more features too, like selecting text, multiple Tabs and Adaptive Page Zoom. The browser works pretty darn well at rendering full pages. It rendered the full desktop version of the ZCJ homepage pretty fast. Unfortunately there’s no Flash support so you cant view Youtube videos, etc. It also seems to use up a lot more ram. You can read the full list of features, and download the app from the Opera Mobile 10 Beta Page. To download it straight to your device, just go to m.opera.com/mobile on your device browser.
