First, thanks to tipster Josh for hookin’ me up with the latest news on Opera 9.5 Beta. It looks like Opera has released an update to the “buggy” Official 9.5 Beta release. Of course many people have been using it from the good folk over at XDA that have extracted it out of the Diamond that has Opera embedded in it from HTC. Whereas the first Diamond Build 1409 was not very good ported to the Kaiser, the second build is much better, Build 1660. I have been using this build and have had pretty good experience with it. However, I have abandoned the Official Beta Build 1718 altogether.

So now a new update pops up on the Opera Blog dated 7/29/08. As you can read below the update does not seem to fix the screen rendering issue I was having, but fixes the notification sounds issue:

We have updated the beta1 with a fix for the (very annoying) bug that turned off the notification sounds. The notification bugfix was relatively trivial and had a low risk. We are aware of the other bugs and issues, but these aren’t adressed in this update.
There have been reports of OOM (Out of Memory) problems on some devices. Phil Nickinson over at WMExperts.com have suggested a workaround to avoid this problem. By changing the location of the folder where Opera stores the cache-files, more memory is available for Opera.
Please note that depending on the speed of the memory card, Opera might perform slower and you will probably experience some delays when Opera reads and writes to the cache.

So head over to Opera Mobile or CLICK HERE to Download if you want to give the update a spin. I’m holding with Build 1660 for now.
