just went over to the opera ftp site and found at the very bottom a link to the 9.7 beta.
here is a direct link to the ftp for anyone that wants it.
Directory:
ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/winmobile/970b1/
here is the actual CAB file:
ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/winmob...er_wm_97b1.cab
im also uploading this to rapidshare right now incase they decide to take the link down
check back in a few minutes for the rapidshare links of the new version
EDIT---
here are the rapidshare links (note: these are un-modified files, they are the exact same files you get directly from their FTP site, simply mirrors of the originals)
