Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta — July 15th!

July 1, 2008 in Software & Apps, Windows Mobile

If you’re like me, you don’t favor hate the standard Pocket Internet Explorer that comes pre-loaded onto your Windows Mobile 6 device, so you search for alternatives. Opera has been around forever in the mobile browsing industry with small Java versions for most Java enabled handsets and stronger, more intensive and feature based versions for Windows Mobile phones. At long last, here comes version 9.5!

While some early versions of phones, such as the HTC Diamond are already coming shipped with Opera 9.5, the release has not been made official. For those wondering why, Opera explains it all:

Some versions of Opera Mobile 9.5 are already shipping on great phones like the HTC Touch Diamond, and some of you have asked why we wouldn’t be able to release it publically yet. As you probably know, releasing a version that works on a large variety of phones is more complex than making it work on one specific phone. You should also expect a few differences between the versions that are pre-installed on phones and the public version of Opera Mobile 9.5.

Mark your calendars folks, it’s just over two weeks away!
