** UPDATED 7-29-08 **

Quote:

We have updated the beta1 with a fix for the (very annoying) bug that turned off the notification sounds. The notification bugfix was relatively trivial and had a low risk. We are aware of the other bugs and issues, but these aren't adressed in this update.

(this is 9.51 Beta Build 1718_a)

ok after playing around with it some... some things I've noticed, it auto imports your PIE bookmarks, there is a new option that allows you to set Opera Mobile as your default browser, and the interface overall is much cleaner and nicer.

Definitely much more stable, and there's hardly any lag switching from portrait mode to landscape mode.

The known errors you posted, are they the errors Opera talked about and the reason they delayed it to the 17th or are these new issues that are coming from the "fixed" version...either way good job and thanks

This is the mobile version... Desktop version wouldn't be a .cab file. Mobile is the same rendering engine as Desktop so that's why they are both called 9.5.1

I'm not really sure, I guess we'll have to wait tell Thursday and compare the build numbers.

Seems buggier than the previous leaked versions. Though it seems to handle bigger pages better. The one thing that kills me is the Keyboard problems with HTC phones. Everytime you click to enter text it reverts you to windows full keyboard and you have to change it back to the keyboard you were using. The previous leaked versions didn't have this problem. I am going to have to revert back until they get this fixed in the beta because it is virtually unusable this way. I'll be curious to see if the keyboard problems affect any other users.

hmmm, takes me to the desktop version, oh well

Click on the first link, it takes you to the mobile version. Also, is anyone else having the keyboard issue, if not, what device are you using it on?
