lol what i meant was it has the functionality of opera mini and more. But its a proper ppc app not a java application.
Just seen the opera press release http://www.opera.com/pressreleases/en/2008/02/05/
If you look under the section that says fully loaded:
Web 2.0-enabled, Widget-ready and Flash support turn Opera Mobile 9.5 into a fully loaded browser allowing users to access all their favorite Web sites such as Facebook, MySpace and more. With Opera Mobile 9.5, OEMs and operators will have the capability to include Flash Lite 3, empowering their smartphone users with access to the full Web including the ability to watch videos on YouTube effortlessly. So i was wrong first time it does have flash.

This made me crack up! Funniest post in a long time.
I'm glad the OP took it well.
I'd be very surprised if they'd release a beta to us regular customers before 2009/2010... I've completely lost my hope in Opera.
Over a year ago they told us Opera Mobile 9.0 was going to be released SOON
sounds good, does anyone know when it is supposed to be released?
Well, the situation with wm browsers is exactly like the pre-Firefox IE6 era. Please Opera, make a decent browser, release it NOW that its time has come and you will definetly be the Firefox of the WM platform!
Well, it looks it's intended for manufactures and carriers, and not for final user sales...
What has really surprised me is this:
Opera Mobile 9.5 will be available on all major platforms including Symbian, Windows Mobile and Linux, as both a standalone browser and as a SDK.

PIE (even 6.1) is rubbish. It doesnt render the page in desktop mode at all. The formatting is always wrong. The Zoom feature of 6.1 is next to useless.
at the moment the only browser that comes close to the desktop experience is Opera Mini. OM9.5 looks like the right way forward.

Skyfire hasn't started their public private beta testing yet. I signed up for it but to know that they'll be seeing what sites I surf to due to server side rendering, I think I'd take Opera 9.5 over it.
Like it's been said before in this post, Opera 9 was promised how long ago? Hopefully 9.5 comes out before WM6.1 is obsolete.

Unlike Opera Mini and unlike Skyfire, Opera Moible 9.5 is a genuine stand-alone Internet browser, that doesn't require any proxy servers.

I have this skyfire beta but i don't live in the US and i'm not registered in their database so i can't try this amazing wannabe browser.
So i ask you if anyone could hack this beta and make it free to use for everyone.
Thank you guys, you are the best!

http://www.savefile.com/files/1490271
Nope. Skyfire is server-side based.
Also, there are a lot of developers on here. Ask them how they'd like it if a CLOSED beta of theirs got cracked in such a manner. Just wait your turn and it'll come to you when they have a more polished product.

That's great news. There's also flash support and it is server-accelerated! Cool
http://tweakers.net/nieuws/59260/opera-kondigt-nieuwe-versie-opera-mobile-aan.html ( in Dutch) states that the new Opera will support not only Flash and Turbo but also Ajax.
Any download link for the beta version, or it's too early for that?
Don't get your hopes too high on Flash.
I bet the support for Flash is exactly the same as Opera Mobile 9.5, as in "plugin support" resulting in the crappy Flash Lite crap.
I would be confused if, out of bloody nowhere, Opera somehow created an Flash plugin themselves (and not Adobe).
Wow, the browser looks great, and faaaast

UCWEB does not require Java and its better than opera mini
btw, shouldn't this topic be discussed in the new apps and themes forum
Hm .. new UCWEB really looks better then the last I saw .. but better then opera mini ? I disagree. All pages I tested was way off.
Currently I use Opera Mini for everything .. and Iris browser for sites which Mini does not render correctly.

Yes it is, if you go to the opera website then to mobile, you'll see a link which says: "Opera Mobile 9.7 beta is ready to rev up your phone", underneath this, there is a date which that link was posted, 08/06/09 - obviously that date hasn't arrived yet. it not the full version, but it has the Turbo feature in it, which isn't the final version either.

So finally the beta versions is arriving? Can't wait to browse in TURBO speed. Yeah!
That 'turbo" thing looks fishy to me.....
think it's the same tech that opera mini use
where everything goes passed opera's servers which
compress pages so stuff load faster if you are on a
slow connection
but it really slow things down if you're on a fast one
which is why the feature is default turned off in opera 10 beta on pc
So whats the current news on it?

Yup, that's the desktop version (which is old since Opera 10 desktop beta is now out).
Interesting thing is Opera.com is down right now (including their FTP and IRC servers).
Yeah, I was trying to get to the site, but it was all down. I pinged them, and their response times for a single packet are very large compared to most sites. Glad I'm not the only one experiencing this.

Doubtful, keep in mind that Opera is located in Norway, so if anything they aren't going to be releasing a product at 6 or 7am there time, Opera typically releases products around 8 or 9am eastern time.

Hey...a couple browser issues:
1. Given my appreciation of Chrome I had reason to expect Froyo browser performance to live up to Google's 'fastest mobile browser ever claim'. I think its faster than 2.1 browser but not at all faster than Skyfire and other browsers in the Market. (Based on avg. time it takes to download certain sites).
2. Hey guys how can we experience the 'full glory of web pages if the browser uses mobile versions of sites?...Despite having desktop user chosen? Any tricks I need to be aware of?
thanks
Look up how skyfire works, that is why it renders pages faster, same with opera.
Yeah well Opera fir sure....much poorer rendering of pages....
Skyfire not so sure....those pages are as sharp as stock.
Opera. Mini and skyfire use outside servers to view the pages, tub rerender them for mobile. This is why nothing secure, I.e. banking should be done with them. Opera mobile,fennec, IE mobile, and Google (nexus one stock) browsers. Render within the phone. Not sure about steel though.

I believe on android skyfire, only uses servers for video, web is done on the same framework as the stock browser.

Type "about:debug" into the URL bar and hit "Go" on the keyboard [the arrow won't work]. Then go to settings > UAString [at the bottom] and change to Desktop. Unfortunately this isn't a permanent solution because it resets back to Android at the end of the session. For more convenient switching we're going to have to wait for CM6 and other Froyo based ROMs.
Why would you want to use a desktop version of a site if there is a mobile version available, thats STUPID
Probably because mobile versions are often lacking content.

This is true. SkyFire for Android only proxy's the Video content. They didn't take the time to build a full blown browser for Andoird. They bought the Steel Browser to work as the base of theirs and just changed it up for the video proxy.

I don't get your post
But it is stupid to want to use a desktop version of a site on a mobile device, thats like trying to use Win 7 on your nexus!
The claim wasn't about rendering speed but for javascript performance
Mobile versions if websites miss content.
The few I saw before changing to desktop didn't allow pinch and zoom either.
In fact they couldn't be resized at all.
