ofcourse no flash. This is not a free app when its out of beta... they need something in the official release that stands apart from the betas.

It will come, but you will have to pay.

Or atleast thats what i think will happen cuz it IS suppose to support flash. the older betas like 1409 would load a vid in youtube but play real choppy then crash.

Opera hasn't said if it's going to be a paid product or not... I wouldn't be surprised if they made it free, considering they now have some competition they didn't have before.

paying for the browser helps pay for their marketing and gives more incentive to the developers and development.... developers will put more time and effort the more they get paid... this could also make opera the best browser out if they keep making it better and better on a regular basis, unlike skyfire who takes forever and a day to give you a beta to test...

giving it for free may not be the smartest thing, but it is a possibility i suppose.

Ok, I'll probably sound like an idiot here but it won't be the first time and you all have treated me so nice in the past so....

I've done a LITTLE research on Opera the past 2 days. Apparently this program will allow me to scroll (left and right, up and down) my internet pages with my finger. Is this correct? If so can someone point me in the right direction where I can get a GOOD working copy of this program? Seems to me the "newest" version they have floating around now has too many bugs in it for a sort-of-noob like me.

Any help is appreciated. I'm not afraid of the THANKS button!

It's correct that Opera will let you use your finger to scroll... unfortunately i'm not a user of it as of yet (like you said too many bugs, and i'd prefer not to go backwards in builds, but forward when a worthy upgrade comes out...) Someone else will be along shortly to point you to a good version.

Welcome to the site!

On the Sprint Mogul, the most serious bug is that it significantly reduces the multitaskability of other programs (i.e., when Opera Mobile itself is not running). For example, Internet Explorer is ordinarily able to start TCPMP (to play a Youtube video) or Streamer (to play a Mobile Youtube video); when either of those finishes, I can close it, and I then come back to Internet Explorer exactly where I was. Now that Opera Mobile is installed, TCPMP and Streamer force Explorer to close.

This does not happen with all programs, only some. I suspect that Opera Mobile has tweaked the Windows Mobile definition of "low memory", so that Windows Mobile is more eager to close programs than it used to be. The reason for this tweak, I presume, is so that Opera Mobile will gracefully exit when it runs out of memory rather than hanging the device.

Of course it is, if you are running it on faster hardware.

Skyfire is pretty damn slow in its rendering since it downloads the page as an image...

As for the faster hardware... I'm running it on my Mogul. O.o
