Opera 8.5 beta OFFICIALLY released for WM2003 / WM5! - Page 2

UPDATE #2: Scrolling is often slow and/or unresponsive initially.

Also, the scroll bars are far too thick for such a small screen. They either need make them smaller or allow the user to customize the width of the scroll bars themselves. And the option to remove the scroll bars when in "Full Screen" mode is a must!

Well this is the first beta. I hope they crank out more. :)

UPDATE #3: CLOSE OUT OPERA? EXIT?? HOW???

I have been looking for a way to close down this program. There's no way to exit out. Oooook. Not good. You've got to use a task manager/switcher bar to get out of it. Not good at all even for a beta...

Its not that bad, but it isnt as fast as it sounds either. I dont see cache options and all that fun stuff and I dont like the fact that it eats my ram and refuses to sit quietly in my SD.

I tried opera 8.5 on a x30 today and I do like the way it renders web sites in portrait and speed is alittle better then Netfront 32. Although I dream of a day when I just need one browser for everything. Now I can use netfront for java sites. PIE for my bank. and opera for simple sites :)

The sad thing is that the 'hacked' Opera beta for WM-Zero3 was more stable and appears to be faster than this version. I don't know how you can regress, but both Microsoft and Opera have apparently managed that trick. :P

Seems like Opera keeps killing my VPN connection, but PIE works and everything else okay.

I guess i have to wait for next release of opera hoping it is fixed. Time to go back to PIE for VPN and Opera for non-VPN connections

Also has anybody been able to move the cache from main menu (application data) to a storage card, it's already at 2meg of my main memory. Well I found that copying most of the folders in aplication data\opera to my CF card and then editing the opera.ini found in the same aplication data\opera folder to read CF Card\Opera, It saved over 3 meg of main memory.

If you go to MENU - TOOLS - SETTINGS

Deselect "Jump to page content" and it should stop your browser scrolling down.

Its a feature that come from the mobile phone version to save you scrolling down for ages before you actually get to something to read.

It's ugly. Very ugly.

I'll scrutinize and possibly hexedit the app so that it'll store the cache elsewhere.

I have a problems when I try load www.hotmail.com

I like it so far. Sites look MUCH more like they do on a desktop as compared to PIE.

My biggest compaint so far is the lack of button mapping - no page up or page down, or next tab etc.

Have only used it for a few minutes, but so far I love it. Very fast and it's the only browser so far that will use Javascript correctly on briefing.com!!!
