Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta 2 now available

[tcatnat]

Does anyone know if the Opera Mobile beta will install over the existing Opera Mobile on my Touch Diamond?

I think it'll be fine to install on your diamond -- I've installed it on my Touch Pro, and they go to different folders, so they can be used according to your preference.

Thanks, would you know how to install it over the preloaded version? I would like to install and test it out but if it works to my liking I don't want two versions installed.

They must have made a lot of changes from the version I used on my Touch because this newest version is much, much slower and the general functionality is not as smooth. I never thought I'd say this but Opera Mobile is still the best best to date.

I noticed the exact same thing, its finally compatible with vga devices so I decided to see what all the talk was about but its just to damn blurry even the video looks blurred.

I'm not exactly sure how well deleting the preinstalled version would work -- whether any other software components would panic. I've kept mine because the text wrapping is nicer and it responds to the g-sensor without having to install Gyrator.

But if you're brave, the preinstalled Opera is stored in /windows/Opera9 ...
