doesnt have some of the issues of beta, also wont load full facebook, unlike beta. The mobile site is really lame, so I dont bother. other than that, seems better, but no fb = dealbreaker, and I'll stick with beta.

on second try, I got to the full site and working by logging in x.facebook.com and at the bottom, going to the full site. works, and bookmarked. it is improved for sure.

anyone else have problems loading engadget or ppcgeeks with the new version? i'm finding that it renders some sites weird or it won't load them at all.

It installs to a different directory (Opera Mini 5 vs Opera Mini, both in Program FIles). The bookmarks and settings won't transfer over unless you do it youself. I'd make backups and copy over the files in that folder + the "ds" subfolder.

This new opera flies on my phone. Really nice, almost as good as the web browser on an iphone.

meh, I like opera mini better than safari. it loads much faster. I have a few iphones that I use almost daily when in bed or relaxing, and opera was loading sites via 3g network, faster than safari using wireless g. opera mini > safari > opera 10 > opera 9.7
