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.
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.
