Opera 9.7 Beta For Windows Mobile Released today.
As you read this I’m probably installing or have already installed Opera 9.7 beta on to my HTC Touch Pro with Windows Mobile 6.5. I currently run 9.5 so we’ll see how different this is. By the time I post this I’ll probably have some photos up anyway.
OK, so I have it working… kind of. It’s SUPPOSED to play flash, but it keeps crashing every time I go to a page that has flash. That’s OK, it’s probably an issue between WM6.5 and Opera 9.7 (which Skyfire doesn’t seem to have) Though I do have to say everything else with Opera 9.7 loads much faster.
The cool thing is the widget app which is basically a bunch of pretty bookmarks that link to pages in the browser.
There’s an explanation of all the new “features” on the site. This is all technical jargon that means it’s faster and prettier than it ever was. There are a few known issues which you can read on the Opera download page here.
