Great news!

wow.. just install the 2nd time it can open wor, so strange!!!

Too bad m600 and p990 aren’t supported.

Well, my P990i with UIQ3 is finally dead.
The only application I wanted to have upgraded is not supported by Opera.
What a shame.
Anybody suggestions for my next phone ? Google or Apple ?

What about flash plugin? Is it still work?

I think flash is being worked on. But personally I don’t mind another wait for flash if it means opera 9.51 becomes a lot better through its development.

ares, what do you mean?
No flash??

So how do people compare it to @web? I really wanted @web to do well, but having downloaded the latest version (the one that nags) I just can’t see why I’d buy it. It can take upwards of 3 minutes to fully load up slashdot for example. That’s just mental.

What are people’s thoughts comparing the two?

Awesome,it’s a good browser to use.
I love it.

For P990 , M600, W950 , i work to built a new SIS File ….
signed with OPDA .
Wait somes days , i try it on a P990 .
But the probleme is the small internal memory and RAM in this smartphone .

hey oeil !hope it works! that would be wonderfull!

LAU, if you read the thread there´s a guy from opera already giving feedback

mmmm OEIL we w’ll wait for your release

This is stunning - the AJAX support is really amazing too - you can actually use the google docs site (although it’s really slow if you try and edit!). Gmail full version works. I’m very impressed.

Knocks the socks off @WEB I’m afraid. It even lets me fully manage my LAN, in conjunction with UIQ PIPS VNC Viewer! Rock on!

Believe it or not, Opera is dying. The Opera browser market share is worst ever (and it’s not something recent).

I believe they are trying to grab the Mobile market share, as the desktop market share is almost lost. They are offering mobile browsers to keep users “entertained”.

Either that, or they have made a contract with Sony Ericsson last year, and they are honoring the contract (although they know UIQ3 is dead)

I still don’t understand how Opera makes any money out of this, but it’s good they are not asking anything.

Keep up the good work Opera!!

Although, wow, it doesn’t half eat your battery… (with LAN on too I guess it’s less surprising)

LAU, major open-source browser producers make their millions off including google/yahoo/ask/etc search bars.

It makes sense to release a final version of Opera Mobile for UIQ now, because most of the install base will jump at it in desperation for something new before the platform gets thrown 6 feet under.

Plus don’t forget there are the UIQ G-series phones SE released which are to be developed for too.

I think Opera is releasing an UIQ3 version of their browser for future prospective customers, customers like SE that will consider to bundle the browser with their products. Opera’s weight for such customers corresponds with the number of copies they have running - companies are much more likely to choose a proven product that is already successful than a newcomer without any track record.

For widgets, the number of copies running (regardless of platform) is also important. People and companies are more likely to write widgets if there are a lot of copies running. And who knows, over time there may be money in widgets for Opera.

So, I think, get more copies running is the name of the game, widen Opera as a mobile platform, win clout and weight. It does not matter much on top of which OS these copies run, on the contrary, maybe UIQ3 is a very attractive target because it waits so desperately for a good browser, and people will flock to Opera 9.5 in droves.
