Last month, we reported that Opera Mobile’s 9.5 beta is going to be released tomorrow, July 15.  As we all know, the more highly anticipated something is, the longer you have to wait for it.  Apparently they have found some kind of bug with their software.  I would have assumed it is pretty stable since it has already been shipping on new HTC Touch Diamond devices but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

…Even though our release is a beta, we’d rather spend the extra time to fix them, thus giving you a better experience. The fixes are almost complete now, but we need two more days to run the build through our quality assurance testing. The new launch date is now set for the 17th.

We’re disappointed to delay, but fixing these bugs will improve the experience with our beta and let you fully test the browser.

Well I suppose if we wait two more days, the soon-to-be best Windows Mobile browser can only get better.  I for one would have preferred to see a beta release on time and an updated version after it got it fixed.
