I hope that upgrades are free, I just broke down and paid for it...again.

Feb 11th and no sign of it being posted at opera.com

Anyone have any info?

How reliable is the information that it will be out today?

Heh, I just got all excited seeing 8.65 (and figured since they announced it, it's gone through .15 changes) and was downloading, then I realized we were waiting for 9.5, not 8.5 :(

Opera Mobile 9.5 isn't going to be released today. I believe it's only being demoed at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain today. Someone confused the demonstration date with the announcement that a beta will "soon" be announced, and we all know Opera's definition of the word "soon".

The commercial release is slated for the Spring of 08 - today is just the first day it will be live demo'd. I would expect a beta will be released, but I would guess that's a few weeks off still.

damn...i been waiting too.

the title of this thread is what causes the confusion on this, but to be fair Opera wasnt too clear in conveying that it will only be demo'd today not publicly released...

I think Opera is scared of what Skyfire will do to their market share and rushed out their press statement and demo video on Opera Mobile 9.5

you might be right wj, it really is odd that the browser market has been stagnant so long and now all these options are dropping at virtually the same time...
