Opera 10 Beta for Windows Mobile released
Pushing the mobile browser closer to a desktop grade experience is the promise of Opera's latest release, Opera 10 Beta for Windows Mobile.
The Opera Mobile 10 Beta overhauls the look and feel of it's predecessors and is similar in design to the Opera 10 desktop browser as well as the Java based Opera Mini 5 beta. The UI overhaul brings Opera's offering across all of it's platforms in line, as well as providing a great range of features from the desktop platform including Speed Dial, tabbed browsing, a password manager and Opera's server side compression technology, 'Opera Turbo'.
I've had a try of the new browser and it does indeed feel more consistent in style with Opera's Java based offering, no bad thing as Opera Mini has always made excellent use of the available screen real estate. Performance seems great and the UI seems intuitive. Some features found in previous releases don't seem to have made it into version 10 yet - we spotted a lack of device rotate support and no support for multitouch zoom on the HTC HD2, but Opera does look set to maintain it's class leading position on the Windows Mobile platform.
The Opera Mobile 10 Beta is available for free download now from the Opera website.

it still doesn't support Windows Mobile Smartphones(non-touchscreen) :(
it expects inputs from the touchscreen to accept license agreement and none of the keys work.
Exactly the same problem as with Opera Mini 10.
Last time Opera mobile was released for WinMo Smartphones was 8.65. I'm feeling very neglected :(

I used Opera 8.65 on my non-touchscreen Windows Mobile 5 phone. There was a separate download for non-touchscreens then. Did you download that?
P.S. I still have the WM5 same phone :)

that's what i said...the last "Smartphone" version is 8.65
Opera haven't released 9.5, 9.7 or 10 for "Smartphones".

Actually is DOES support non touch screen devices, but the support is very spotty right now. It doesn't work on my Samsung Jack, but it works great on my friends phone ( never cared enough to find out what kind it was).

On a related note, Opera Mobile finally came to S60 devices!

I absolutely admire the Opera 10 internet browser from Opera Software Inc. I firmly believe the Vikings have finally cracked open a genie out of the bottle.
The Opera 10 internet browsers is so well thought and designed very beautifully so that even a beginner can have a crack at and have so much fun. After all it is a mobile browser design for the well connected mobile community from around the world.
