regarding opera 9.7, with 21812 im using netcf 3.7 with htc ca drivers and the open vg drivers and opera doesnt load. in 21806 it did..
i think there might be a reg setting in the sys thats fudging it up <---Scratch that
i doubled check to see what graphic driver i was using and it turned out to be the htc ti driver and not the ca one
now opera works great.
so ya might wana check that on your phone too
