Any one tried Alpha 3 yet?

I got it loaded up. and did a reboot. it's almost functional. Still sluggish but almost to the point where i would use it. it uses the touch pro dpad to scroll instead of zoom which is nice!
Let me know how you all like it.

Yea I've used it. It has a long way to go, but its already better then opera mobile IMO. OM is about the biggest turd of mobile browsers I've seen.

I prefer opera 9.7 even in a beta I'll test this but considering on two different alphas it didn't load i'll see

Opera mobile works pretty well objectively speaking but there is just something about it that drives me nuts! right now iris is my default browser.

Thank you for the link and sharing your find. I installed it on my Touch Pro and it's not bad. Not bad, but not quite enough to keep on my phone. Between opera mini, iris, skyfire, and opera 9.7, im pretty well set until a fennec official beta. Thanks given, i appreciate the heads up.

Thats funny I think IE is the biggest turd and is slow as crap. I get sick even trying to use it. Opera is so much better in my opinion

That's because IE doesn't even enter into the conversation, it's that useless. Opera Mobile isn't that much better though.
