Enabling Tabbed Browsing on your N82 Browser

The S60 Browser is almost perfect, except for one thing - not allowing the user to open new tabs even though the browser itself supports it. This is because in previous phones, the lack of RAM coupled with the opening of more than 1 tab could cause the browser to crash all the time.

Not that it’s a problem anymore on the N82. It’s got huge amounts of RAM (relative to other phones) with more than 80MB free even when web browsing, so I should be entitled to open as many tabs as I want, no?

Mark from the Nokia Blog has found an excellent way to get over Nokia’s flaw: the multimedia button (the little one stuck between the delete and right key) contains a tile for websites. Apparently when clicked on the sites open in new tabs rather than changing the page you’re on. Yep, this means that if you want a separate tab, simply click on the multimedia button, go to your Internet tile, and click on a site. Voila!
