Turbo mode works good if you are just doing some general web browsing, but Turbo mode in itself is just in early stages (beta) that was released within a beta product, and the reason why Opera disabled it by default.

Quote from Opera:
It's not the full version of Opera Turbo yet (yes, that's a Beta feature in a Beta release), but we couldn't wait to show you this cool feature.

Re: Opera Mobile 9.7 is now available (FTP)

I am having frequent freezes on the HTC Touch Diamond.

Also the zoom seems always maxed out even though the letters are very small.

Re: Opera Mobile 9.7 is now available (FTP)

Sorry guys I still think it sux for most browsing, I'll stick with pie and skyfire at this point. It's just too cumbersome.

I'll try out the next version too... I just don't see the draw here, quick browsing is supposed to be quick, PIE is, this isn't. If I'm trying to get the full experience of a site I still like skyfire better, but hey to each his own...

Have you tried enabling turbo yet. I agree, without turbo enabled, it is slow to fully load compared to some of the modified 9.5 opera releases. with turbo enabled, it is as fast as mini but the their are trade offs.

PIE is quick? I'd like to get your setup then because mine is S-L-O-W

Re: Opera Mobile 9.7 is now available (FTP)

I wonder if our experts here can tweak this up to render only desktop versions, even in Turbo mode?

I'm having a hard time understanding why you don't think this is quick, I did some tests last night and this site loaded in about 5 seconds, Wikipedia loaded in appx 6 seconds.

And to think PIE is faster? Have you tried loading this site in PIE to see how long that takes?

Probably not for turbo mode since most of that would be on Opera's servers.
