I would expect this to be out very soon.

EDIT:
Just Thought I would add the link.

Weird, you are right. It is gone now. But I got it. It wasn't up on Alltels site, just HTCs maybe they made a mistake. I am going to update my phone now. Just got home from work

A co-worker flashed the alltel rom this morning and the opera included is an older version, not the most recent beta-version. I personally don't like it compared to the beta version.
