For all that did not know if you go to iphone.facebook.com you get a really great user experience for facebook. Now I always thought that it did not work 100% on Opera becuase if you go to pictures they diplay really wierd and you cant see them. I just got done watching this video from pocket now were I clearly see the iphone site working on Opera (on a HD though). Do I not have the right plugins, the latest version, does this work on just the HD? How do you find your version of Opera?

If I'm not mistaken the iPhone Safari browser is based off an engine called WebKit. The only browser on WM that runs off WebKit is Iris Browser I believe. Even then it might not fully render the iphone optimized page as it looks on the iphone. Opera uses their own proprietary engine and in all likelihood doesn't fully support the websites rendering framework. Give it a shot with Iris browser if you're willing to try something different.

// Yea Iris definitely works and displays the pictures. It's not perfect but it works.

wow it does work very well! but its too bad we just got an awesome facebook app for windows mobile that does the same thing!

If you havn't seen it yet, check it out on XDA or there is a post about facebook app here in the pocket pc software forum!

I have seen it but still was curious why in the video its fully functional on opera and when I try it it does not. Works fine in Iris but I dont care for that browser.
