i agree that the iphone’s browser is far more usable than even opera mini 4, which is the best the pocketpc has to offer. however, that does not change the fact that the iphone is just a shiny new toy that lacks many serious features. even if i were stuck using pocketIE i would never trade my pocketpc for something so limited.

however i still wonder what is the holdup? a fully-capable browser for the pocketpc that is not painful to use is long overdue.. Java ME Opera is nice but it just doesn’t count as a full-fledged browser in my book. Not when i still have to open up PocketIE just to download a file. Not when I cant make it the default browser. Not when I have to close gmail just to open opera because they both use Java. i just hope opera mobile 9 can meet or exceed the usability of opera mini 4 – that might actually justify the wait.

I have SE P1i and I’m using Opera Mini 4 instead of preinstalled Opera Mobile 8.65, just because it’s way better … Hopefully 9.0 will make the difference and it will be free to upgrade …

you’re going to lose my business.
safari came out 6 months ago, and opera is STILL not out with something comparable.
if you want my business, get opera mobile 9 out ASAP.
else i’ll either get an iPhone, or Android.
seriously, for a company that specializes in browsers, you shouldn’t let apple and google beat you at it

Hopefully coming in the early part of the first HALF of 2008. That’s not really news, I mean, it’s a whole six month window there. Still, I can’t wait to pirate this new software!

@Chris,

Well, at least they should release an exipiring beta… The only reason that is keeping me from buying 8.65 is because Mini is much more usable. I wont buy until 9 get released, and Im sure that it has the same features that Mini has.

It’s Hush-Hush because they are intending to make $$ on the mobile verion. If you release a free Beta version less people will pay for the final release.

I still would like to know when I can buy it for my WM6 Smartphone.

I have to wonder why the Mobile team is so hush-hush while the Mini and Desktop teams talk openly and provide early builds.

Felipe,

That would be fantastic news, as I just bought a T-Mobile Shadow.

Can I update my Opera Mobile version 8.6 on my SE M600i into version 9? How much is the cost?

Opera Mobile 9 hasn’t been really tested, yet ?… thus can’t be ready for a business preinstall ?… So, can we expect a public beta soon, before X-mas ?

David, other than the UIQ platform and this particular Windows Mobile, we haven’t publicly announced anything yet.
