OK I give up - is there any way to demo this if you have demoed a previous version of Opera? I demoed it maybe 2 versions ago without buying and uninstalled it. But when I installed a new demo version it says my demo time is already up and I need to purchase it. (Treo 700wx)

Been using the version of 9.5 that ships with the Diamond on my Wing. It's pretty slick, but zooming out looks like crap in the Wing because of the QVGA rez.

@JChristopher: Opera 9.5 runs 100% stable on both my work desktop and laptop, and on my home PC.

Opera 9.5 does nothing but crash on my desktop. Why would I want this for my phone?

The old Opera mobile (4.1?) was much nicer on s60 devices. Better opening page, better page rendering.

I previously installed this on my mobile phone earlier today and have fallen in love with it. New ui that i had to get used to but is really great. the rendering and browsing is very quick and blows pie out of the water. Comparing this to opera mini is apples to oranges. This is a much more robust browser thats only going to get better.
My only gripes are that I kept running out of cache so the ability to install opera on my sd or relocate the cache to the sd will be greatly appreciated. Also, entering data in text boxes is off and will not word wrap properly. A good portion of the lines are off screen.
Can't wait till the next build this version is shaping up great.

I used to use opera mobile on my PPC6700. It's Good Stuff (tm)
Also, I've never had opera 9.x crash on any machine I've used it on.
