Opera Make Your Browser Fly

Archive for January, 2009

Today we launched Opera Mobile 10 Beta for Windows Mobile.
Hot on the heels of the Symbian/S60 release two weeks ago, this brings the new Opera Mobile browsing experience to even more users.


Opera for Windows Mobile now gets the same sleek browser UI we introduced in Opera Mini 5 and the Symbian/S60 version of Opera Mobile. Windows Mobile users will enjoy the new Speed Dials, visual tabs, better touch screen navigation, performance improvements and the very latest Opera browser engine, as capable as any desktop browser.

Read more about it at Opera.com/mobile.

Or just [http://www.opera.com/mobile/download/]download it on your PC or directly to your mobile phone at m.opera.com/mobile (4.5Mb).

We need your feedback so please post it here or head over to [http://my.opera.com/community/forums/forum.dml?id=102]our forums





Known issues in this Beta include:

  • No plug-in support (e.g. Flash)


  • Opera Link is not included


  • Progress bar will show the previous URL for some time while the new page is loading

  • Some input method editors â??IMEâ? (hard and soft phone keyboards) are known not to work well with Opera because they do not comply with Microsoft’s SIP and/or IME standard. When such an editor is detected by Opera, Opera will use a known (default) input method instead. An exception is EzInput v1.5, where the phone keypad and compact QWERTY, ABC mode doesn’t work, but the rest of the modes work fine. We recommend upgrading to EzInput v2.0 to avoid this.


  • Many IME’s (input method editors) will override the Opera shortcuts


  • On certain HTC phones, the system titlebar replaces the Opera titlebar after rotating to landscape.

  • Certain HTC devices with TouchFLO will force Opera back to portrait mode if visiting home screen when Opera is in landscape.


  • On older WM 5.0 Devices with 480×800 resolution, switching between portrait and landscape may cause display errors. This is due to lack of support for this resolution in early versions of Microsoft’s driver.

  • Yesterday we released a new version of Opera Mobile 10 beta with multi-language support, as well as an updated version of the regular release.

    The multi-language build includes a font package covering several Asian languages.

    In addition to this, both builds contain some minor fixes:

    • Font handling fix
    • Cache size is calculated at a different point in the loading process
    • Reduced frequency of error messages when out of memory occurs
    • RTSP support is added


    I will explain this in a bit more detail.

    The ability to render Asian characters in web pages depends on the system fonts installed on the device, and doesn’t require the special multi-language version to be installed. However, rendering Asian characters in Opera UI elements such as history, page title, bookmarks, dropdowns, etc requires the extra font package in the multi-language version. Note also that the additional font package will only be used if the device locale matches one of the fonts included in the package.

    The font handling fix ensures that Opera makes proper use of the installed system fonts for web page content. The first release did not use system fonts correctly, which caused some English language pages to display squares on devices with certain Asian locales.

    The next two fixes in the list will reduce the frequency of out of memory (OOM) messages. We know that a lot of you have commented about high RAM consumption and frequent OOM messages, and these fixes should hopefully alleviate the problem somewhat.
    We acknowledge that Opera requires a fair bit of memory - a full web browser will need resources to handle complex web pages. For this first beta we have focused a lot on smooth panning and UI transitions, but rest assured that we will work diligently to improve memory usage for the next release.

    Finally, the updated builds have RTSP support, so that RTSP content is passed to the default media player on the device.

    Thank you for testing Opera Mobile 10 beta, and for the comments so far - we look forward to more feedback!


    Known issues:

    • If RealPlayer is the default media player, you will need to set the access point in RealPlayer to the same access point Opera is using.
    • The multi-language build does not cover all character sets. Please take a look at this forum comment The X Files dvd Beverly Hills Ninja on dvd for more details.
    • Soft keyboard is shown even though hard keyboard is slid out and in use.
    • Only partial IME support.
    • Occasional freezes under stress conditions.
    • Opera Link is not included in the beta.

  • Our users reported a problem where after visiting feeds, sites were shown in Desktop mode, regardless of the setting before going to the feeds. This morning we pushed a minor server upgrade (new version is 4.10.422) that takes care of the issue.Choke full

    Even though we put lot of energy in making sites work better, there
    remain some not yet solved bugs, most notably in the Desktop version
    of Facebook. We’re working on them, but had to postpone them to avoid
    delaying this release.

    As usual, there is no need to make any manual changes to benefit from
    a server upgrade. Enjoy using Mini!

  • Opera Mobile 9.7 beta is now available for download. We first showed Opera Mobile 9.7 at CTIA in late march, but we needed some time to stabilize and test the new Opera Presto 2.2 core version.

    The big news in this release is Opera Turbo. Opera Turbo is a server-side compression technology that compresses data up to 80% before it is sent to the mobile phone. Opera Turbo speeds up your browsing experience significantly when you are on a low bandwidth network (like EDGE). You will however not notice such a big effect when you’re connected through WiFi or a high-speed mobile network. You can turn on Opera Turbo in the advanced section in the browser settings. Opera Turbo for Opera Mobile is still a preview feature, and we appreciate all feedback.

    Download the browser here.
