I love the password storage in the newest version. I love the fact that it opens faster than when it required java. My biggest and most important dislike is that it is slower...to me it seems that it takes almost 2 times as long if not longer to open a page. I will have to wait for my wife to get home so I can compare the two between our 2 phones but that is my initial take on it. The speed almost seems same as regular 9.5 or whatever MR X included in his latest 2.5 release. Is anybody else getting slower load times from this than in the beta 2 that was out?

Im not seeing the slow speeds you are. In all honesty, Im super impressed with how fast it is. Any chance you were just having a funky connection at the time? Id be interested to see the comparison results when you get a chance to do it. please post back if ya can. thx,

Well I had to test this against beta 2 and they both have the same load times for pages. The only difference is that beta 2 renders the page initially faster but they both finish loading at the same time.

wow it's super fast!. renders pages great. having a little trouble getting it to remember google reader logins (installed to flash card). very promising... will be my default browser upon next release (if not sooner).

it loads super super fast, its awesome.....this thing loaded igadget.com (engadget.com) in record time..

I can't say enough about this release

Still only one zoom level & you can't read text with it zoomed out.

It still has the problem from earlier versions where you click a link & instead of opening it, it reloads the current page (this annoys me so much that I rarely use it).

This version has promise (it's definitely fast), but I will still stick with the version of Opera 9.7 with the zoom slider on the bottom of the screen for now.

Also, it took 5 attempts to save the password. Like the new setup and I'm sure its going to get better. seems to be prevalent on ppggeeks site but is working well on some other sites. strange

I have noticed this too. also when trying to post it seems like hit or miss lol.
And has anyone tried to upload pics to your albums here? It doesn't give the option to get a file from sd card only gives the option to upload a pic from Documents which is really a pain because I don't have my pics stored there. Irritating!

yep, cannot save anything to storage either. Couple people told me that its working perfect for them with respects to clicking links. gonna try installing on a fresh flash and see if it makes a difference for me.

stratch that... Just hard reset and installed from a fresh flash. links are working, passwords are saving. loving it sorry for the false alarm.

But did it fix not being able to Upload from storage? It didn't even give me the option to do that.

Hi, I was able to choose links again but occassionally still cant progress to another link. Seems to occur with drop down menus alot. No luck on the storage card. Hopefully there will be a another release with a couple fixes.

Anyone know how to make it the default browser?
