Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREECNET Editors' review
For solid surfing performance, an unobtrusive navigation design, and rich browsing and saving features, Opera Mobile 9.51 beta is a must-have download for touch-screen Windows Mobile Pocket PCs. Performance was faster and smoother than that of competitors, and the array of features are a nice fit for users intent on browsing on the phone as they do on the desktop. Among them are an in-text search and text highlighting, a Google search bar, and an address bar that suggests URLs for sites you've previously visited. There's also support for Opera Dragonfly, a remote debugging tool for third-party developers.
As the product is in its early beta stages, the Download.com rating ought to be taken with a grain of salt. The tabbed browsing experience, for example, has been demoted from visible tabs to stacked windows, and there are a handful of missing or broken features. Flash video, for example, doesn't work in this first build, a phone's custom input won't always work, and the app has not yet been outfitted with more languages than English. As the application nears its final release, Opera Mobile 9.5 is expected to gain far more capabilities. For now, it's recommended as a fairly stable and enjoyable browser.

"Good browser"
Version: Opera Mobile 9.51b1
Pros
Opera 9.5 is just easy to use. You can have multiple tabs open and it just seems easier to read. This is all compared to IE mobile.
Cons
can't use my key pad on my tilt. I have to use the touch screen one.

"Un-useably Slow"
Version: Opera Mobile 9.51b1
Pros
Liked the thumb style button menu, if it worked.
Cons
I've got a Treo 700wx on Verizon and the Opera app was so slow to load and respond that I chucked it after one day. rating=1

"Easy to use, sure wish it had Java enabled."
Version: Opera Mobile 9.51b1
Pros
Much easier to use on my HTC Touch screen than using IE. Options and controls pretty basic, easy to configure.
Cons
No Java. Can't switch over from IE until that is added. For some unknown reason, when I have to type, it switches me out of the touch PCM Keyboard that I prefer and automatically switches to the basic keyboard, eliminating my ability to use touch.
Summary
I like the concept and where it is headed as a Beta. It works great for touch screens. Easier to select favorites. Add tge Java, fix the keyboard selection, and i will switch from IE.
