Ok so I dont completely hate the opera browser but I remember it working so much better when I had the leaked Beta. The one that came with my TP just seems.... off... I relize this is probly a specail version of the mobile browser consdiering all the fancy TP only features. My question is has anyone modded or is there any new versions that still work with all the TP features just only does so better?

The fact that all my pages are mobile is kinda stupid (yes ive done the hack to make it so i show up as IE or firefox but that still very buggy) Also as I recalled my old version of Opera was able to play flash (not very well but it did it) considering the differnce in power between the mogul and the TP I was kinda hoping for better results.

Also yes I know about skyfire Ive been using it since its first beta run. But I paid for this gorgious VGA screen I WANT TO USE IT!

So let me know your oppinion on browser experience. Maybe I can learn from it and do as expected.

PS: Anyone figured out how to change double tap zoom ammount on opera?

Hmmm I heard alot of people saying the onscreen zoom is realy annoying... and I dont realy zoom that much. VGA screen and all makes it rather easy to read alot of stuff zoomed all the way out.

my problem with Opera is that on some pages I can't simply choose the "back" option to go to a previous page. All it will do is scroll up the page in reverse order to how I scrolled down, one click at a time. I've tried multiple ROM's and see that same behavior.

I would give this version a shot. I'm using the same one and it works good.

My biggest gripe about Opera Mobile is the auto-rotate which tends to slow things down drastically if I inadvertently wag my TP. I have a version which does NOT do this, 9.5 build 15233, but was wondering if there's a way to turn this off on all later versions as well...
