Opera 11.10 Barracuda adds infinite Speed Dial
If you guessed the unnamed-but-very-popular feature Opera was planning to overhaul in Opera 11.10 was the Speed Dial, buy yourself a beer! The browser's trademark new tab page has indeed been retooled. In the latest Opera 11.10 snapshot build, there's no limit to the number of Speed Dial entires you can add. Gone are the blank placeholder boxes from previous Opera versions, replaced with only active Speed Dial entries and an add button.
Opera has temporarily disabled Speed Dial sync in this build, and there are a handful of other known issues listed on the official blog post.
As for this being the "big secret" planned for the Opera 11.10 release -- Opera's Thomas Ford tells us "That's not the only improvement we have lined up for Opera 11.10, though. Speed Dial is just the first to get an overhaul."

A good idea, but horribly implemented. The speed dial shouldn't require a scroll bar. The purpose of the speed dial is to have your most important websites right in front of you. If you have to scroll, it defeats the purpose of it.
As a long time Opera fan, I hope they can fix this before 11.10 release.

@Hafkie That's your own choice. If you add just a few, you will have immediate access to them. If you add a lot, you will scroll. But no one is forcing you to add more.
And even if you do have to scroll, it's quick.
Besides, this is just the first step. They clearly stated that this is just an early preview.

You can, for the first time ever, drag and drop speed dials in the position you want, no longer theyre static, so you can easily set the ones you use the most in the upper visible section and the rest below.
