Opera is boasting "explosive growth" for its Opera Mini mobile phone web browser, claiming it has seen usage up 157% year-over-year.

In March 2009, more than 23 million people used Opera Mini, a 12.1% increase from February 2009 and more than 157% increase from March 2008.

Those users viewed more than 8.6 billion pages in March 2009 with Opera Mini serving 148 million MB of data to handsets worldwide.

Thanks to a "snapshot" day-long survey on 17 March, in the UK, Opera says Google was the most visited site via the browser, followed by Yahoo, Facebook and the BBC.
