Opera Mobile 10 beta 2 now available

I use Skyfire and I like it a lot. How does Opera Mobile compares to Skyfire?

This browser is supposed to work with WM Standard. However, the hot keys cannot be used. I often find that there is a menu item at the bottom of the screen that cannot be used with WM Standard. For example, on first use, I am given something to either accept or exit. It would seem that the left hot key would be for Accept. The hot key does not accept. I cannot get the curser down far enough towards the bottom of the screen to press the accept button. As far as I see this program really does not work with WM Standard.

I think 10 beta 1 is a pretty major step back from 9.7. For example, ESPN mobile simply cannot be read on my Omnia in Opera 10. Since it's a mobile page, there is no zoom option.

Skyfire is far superior, especially the 1.5 alpha version. The only thing Opera does better is the ability to make your device look like a PC instead of a PPC so you don't get forced to the mobile version of some sites.

Cmon, Opera, you can do much better. Having said that, I haven't had time to download the new beta and try it.

I hope they make interface a choice. I'd like use the smartphone interface on my Fuze (softkeys are remapped on mine). Sometimes it's just easier to navigate sites using hardware keys instead of the touch screen.

I'm happy with Opera 10 beta but am anxiously awaiting flash support.

The thumbnails on the start page are still erratic.

It is working on my Curve 8330 but I still like Bolt better.

using: htc excalibur, windows mobile non-touchscreen.

unfortunately this windows mobile version still does not support non touchscreens, a big disappointment since i love their browsers. it looks like it has a smooth feel to it.

im still using the java version, opera mini 5, and have to say this is my browser of choice. all the options in offers - tabbed browing, copy and paste, highlight text... are very good for a mobile browser.

the other option would be skyfire. but i've found that even though it offers flash, which is far ahead of it's time in a mobile browser and puts it ahead of the rest, the bugs in skyfire cannot justify my using it on a regular basis. even with the newest stable version, it's plagued by random crashes, and often frequent involuntary 'sleep mode' which it will go into if i decide to use another app then come back to skyfire.

so final statement...skyfire will be the best browser in about a year. but if you have tcpmp, the core, or any other player that will play flash videos, then opera mini is the way to go. has everything you need...and these extra apps allow for your youtube viewing pleasure.
