Don't ask me, I'm not going to try anything with this build. Not exactly a good sign when you delay the official beta release of your star program and have it take a huge step back from the leaked pre-release.

Opera, if you guys are reading this, you've really done some AWESOME work on the browser so far, but... dude.. you guys should've kept it another few days to get most of those IMEs working again!

I'm not even going to bother upgrading from 1522 until they get those custom IMEs working again!

Good things I did notice while I fooled around with the beta:

LOVE LOVE LOVE the auto-imported IE favs... new life will come to that dusty "create mobile favorite" button in IE

It's fast... I hope it's not only due to the presto engine not parsing certain things like embedded video and flash objects

Dragonfly is a good idea, but too much too soon... work on the core functions before showcasing Dragonfly or Widgets



Not too fond of the gray/black color scheme, but that's just personal taste.

Final Advice to Opera Devs...

IMEs IMEs IMEs!

Get that Memory usage down! It's probably a leak, but not something you want to have as a first impression... even in a beta.

Light a fire under Adobe to release Flash lite 3 so Opera Mobile users can brag to those smug iPhone schmuck bags!

Pull 1706 and mark 1522 as your Beta 1... you'll have a much warmer reception!
