That stopped the annoying page that loads "Could Not Open File" and now when you Launch Internet from TF3D it launches opera 9.5. I still have opera mobile 10 and can launch from the start menu.

Good find thanks.

I like it.

It has the same new Home Page as Opera Mini which I'm not too keen about. Too many sites have something obscure in the upper left corner and some sites have nothing. I like how the Droid does it, it takes a thumbnail of a good part of the page, it looks very good and easy to recognize.

My biggest gripe is flick scrolling through a page. Only iPhone and Opera Mini "Stay Snapped" to a column of Text. Why can't other browsers do this? As you scroll you zig zag down the screen and have to keep recentering it. Drives me insane.

Other than that it's working quite good and is very fast.

I wish the gyro would auto rotate the darn thing.

Turbo mode actually seemed a tad slower to me. But I have not tested it that long.

I'm kinda glad the hardware zoom control is ignored I swear it messed up zooming permanently in my 9.5 install. Zooming is totally whacko in 9.5 once I used that zoom control. It's almost perfect in 10.0 beta now. How ever it will size up the width based on the text you click on but then is dumb and doesn't center on it. Again iPhone safari does this perfect. It is beta and is the best Mobile Browse for WM yet. I think it may bump opera mini.

I can hear the chatter of ROM Cookers HDD's building new roms with Opera 10.0 Beta right now

Pretty nice. Good speed and the scrolling is soooo much smoother and precise. Couple gripe points though:

1) tap to zoom in, but can't tap to zoom out. Granted, I just have to tap the unzoom button in the bottom left.
2) can't bring up the status bar to see connection strength and notices.
3) rotation on keyboard slide is slooooooooooooow.
4) seems to be a little more sensitive to link selections. Had quite a few times where I was scrolling or zooming and it thought I clicked a link and started loading a page.

yeah, looks like the zoom bar is obsolete here and it won't switch to landscape unless you slide the keyboard out. i haven't tried changescreen or gyrator2 or anything, so that might fix.

I must say....this version is SEXY!!!!! My favorite browser hands down already. The only drawback is that it isn't webkit based, so espn's mobile page still kinda sucks. oh well...

I can't get the zoombar to work...but I'm on a "Bottom Start" rom so it never has.

tech1screen rotate works great, also it uploads, downloads, and copies and paste in turbo mode....

I like it, but the font is just so small and adjusting it up for me to see means readjusting for everything else. I have it set on 200% zoom.
