Opera's browser for the desktop is actually stepping up to 9.5 and showing off its great new features. Many of you already love Opera Mini and can’t live without it. This new desktop version will hopefully make your mobile life complete. One of the ways Opera plans to do this is to synchronize your bookmarks between your desktop web browser and your Opera Mini mobile. This should save time and frustration with all your information. Opera also adds new security enhancements like malware protection and improved fraud protection.

This is all fine and dandy for the desktop browser but where is our mobile 9.5 version!? The custom version is already shipping on the HTC Diamond, so while we've been patient before, we'll admit we're starting to get just a little antsy.

On a side note, we're also intrigued by Dragonfly, which looks like a great set of development tools for Opera that give it a better shot at being a platform instead of just a browser.

I concur. Opera Mobile 9.5 seems like it's been put on indefinite hold...And I was so hopeful, too.
if youre talking about 9.5 mobile its definitely not on hold. the touch diamond and touch por are coming with 9.5 built in. The diamond in Asia/Europe is already shipping with opera 9.5 so im guessing its being finalized for other screen resolutions and devices.
