Opera 9.5 faster than 9.7...

---

What are peoples experience when using opera mobile 9.5 compared to 9.7?

I started to use 9.7 straight away, but it was buggy and would hang for serious amounts of time compared to my m8's HD with 6.5.

Is it because its built into the rom (I dont understand this because the exe is just in the windows folder..)

i agree with you, i was using 9.7 on m y WM6.1 device and my WM6.5 device was running 9.5 version, 9.5 is faster. however in WM6.5 i can get 5 tabs but in WM6.1 only 2?

I used 9.7Beta for a while- agree more tabs (two is one less than opera on the touch 0pro curiously) but i found the 9.7b would close and then not reopen (ie it didnt fully close i guess) so it had to go. speed was about the same.

To get more tabs, open Opera, put opera:config in the address, go to User Prefs and change Maximum Allowed Tabs.

I gave up on 9.7 long time ago. 9.5 is better as this is built-in, the zoom bar works, the auto rotation works. The turbo mode for 9.7 is faster, but it stopped working after a while and I can only use it with the standard mode. That's the point where I got rid of it.

However the new opera mini 5 is very nice and especially fast when on EDGE (my house resides in the EDGE coverage when 3G is only half a mile away, duh. Complained to T-mo but they're "working" on it).
