Opera Mobile 9.5 on the HTC Advantage

Opera Mobile 9.5 was announced back in February 2008, but has yet to appear for download. It is just starting to make its way onto new Windows Mobile devices and the HTC Advantage X7510 (2nd generation) comes with Opera Mobile 9.5 integrated into the ROM. This mobile web browser is outstanding and provides more functionality than the rather revolutionary Apple iPhone browser.

flash?

[palmsolo]

I tried out YouTube and it goes to the mobile page and then tapping on the video opens the Streaming Media utility.

Are there any other sites with Flash that you want me to try out?

Opera Mobile 9.5 owns !

To those saying finger navigation

honestly i wont like finger nav. if its faulty and believe me thats a lot of faults using your big thick fingers on a high res. screen !

I find using stylus more fault proof also cleaner .. after a long day with all the greasy fingers i wouldn't like to touch my phones screen !

So if this browser would come to the "htc Touch Diamond" I'm definitely buying it !

The HTC Diamond is actually coming out with an even better version because HTC worked closely with Opera to optimize the browser. I too can't wait to try out that browser and device.

The best browser you have ever used? Have you used the iPhone before?

It looks nice, although all of the navigation is pretty clearly taken from Mobile Safari. What seems to be nice about this that Mobile Safari is lacking is being able to save content like pictures.

It still makes me sad to see that the application is half finger friendly, half stylus friendly as seems to be a problem with many mobile OSs.

I have used the iPhone and still own one. The iPhone browser is very good and set the standard high. However, for writing blog posts and being a bit more productive this Opera Mobile 9.5 browser has more functionality.

The ROM on this device is not the final ROM so the finger navigation may be improved when I install the final ROM.

Hi my friend,

1. In Opera Mobile is 'tabbed browsing' supported?

2. Can we open MHTML (.mht files) on Opera Mobile that we can usually save on desktop with IE, Opera or FireFox UnMHT extension?

I need to know

[linkchrono1955]

Hmm, hold on! I thought that the x7510 version has the toggle and lights on the left side deleted, as well as the accelerometer. But this version has all of them- and, it also has Opera Mobile 9.5 and TouchFlo? I'm really confused. :/

how to change default home page on Opera Mobile Browser v9.5

ANYONE ?

[misterleoni]

Opera Mobile 9.5 is Flash compliant HOWEVER no Flashlite 3.0 has been made available for Windows Mobile, only Symbian.

If the Touch Diamond has an Email client as good as the Iphone's then it might be a competitor.

The Advantagenis too bulky to be compared with the Iphone. Other phones of a comparable size to the Iphone generally only have QVGA screens (the TyTn2 for example) so even with Opera Mobile 9.5 they still fall short of the Iphone's browsing experience.

Good video. vague, but good. You should make another video with just surfing. Going from site to site and browsing. I'm on the fence about getting an iPhone again or a tilt with this browser

I forgot: if Diigo does not work (Diigo is the most useful service, IMO), you could also try Sharedcopy or The Awesome Highlighter, they both have onscreen floating bars like the "diigolet" and they both refuse to work with 8.65 or IE Mobile .. :(

And please, do not waste much time in it... :)

Thanks!
