[ladytoast]

Test shows it running on a touch, seems pretty fast to me:

Makes PIE look like complete rubbish, which it is.

[itsgreen]

why bash PIE?

it hasnt got a proper update for only 4 years?

[Steve-C]

Rather impressive that a four year old browser can do anything the rate sites are progressing!

deepfish-copy?

[Jozer99]

Except Deepfish has the pages rendered on MS's servers, then sent to the phone. That means 2x as slow, and no interactivity (no flash, no clicking on links). This is actually rendering the page on the phone.

I just want to know when is this going to be released? Does anyone know?

[~~Tito~~]

They are making a beta soon, but haven't released it yet.

[hslayer]

hopefully they will let 8.65 owners use the same registration code...

Errrm, does my Opera 8.5 code let me upgrade to 8.65? Wouldn't hope too much :(

Anyway, what happened to v.9?

Looks good tho', and I though 8.65 looked quite nice. Only problem is the same thing that stopped me buying Opera (again) last time which is the exchange rate on the store.

All I need is to need more than Opera Mini :(

Its probably gonna be an upgrade for the 8.X series users and then 9.5 would probably another purchase and 9.0 would probably a better 8.x series.

Why would deepfish be 2x as slow ?
it does 2x more path to reach your cell, but not 2x slower...

Basically that's what Opera Mini does : preprocessing on the server side, for optimised bandwidth & screen usage. (Blackberry servers also do that)

But back to Opera Mobile 9.5: I hope that will offer much better experience than Opera Mini (which is already the best IMHO)
Just because if they want us to pay, that has to be worth the money ;)

-Delete for Brainfart moment :o

[marksweb]

I saw the video for this today - cannot wait for the release!

Love opera 9.5 for PC so this could actually be something i'd pay for on WM :)

[Kaliemon]

What about Skyfire.

http://www.skyfire.com/

The fact that it is free is great.

[LafferUSA]

Its great how all these great web browsers are still in beta :(

After reading a comment related to netfront, I gave it a try.
These folks have made big improvements, the visual bookmarks are sexy
The browsing is fast like an Opera...

Now I'll hesitate between Opera Mini, Netfront 3.5 and Opera 9.5 if it goes public soon
