Really like this new version of opera it might even change to be my default browser. Really like the following:

1)Tabs browsing
2)The animation on the UI which makes it feel faster
3)Selecting text in a page and coping it or search using google
4)Like the shortcuts too easy to open and close tabs

Nice. Much better buttons than the last version. They used to be too small for my fingers. I kind of miss the mouse pointer though.
The dial pad and tabs are great though.

Took a few seconds but I found the most important option "Open link in new tab"

I'm sold

Wow... Yeah, it's bloody amazing!!!

And they claim on one of the opera blogs that the real 'killer feature' of om 5 isn't actuall implemented in the beta!!! So glad I ditched the iphone!!! LOL

Yeah, it's a bit of a departure from previous versions, but WOW!
Between s60, wm and the iphone I have easily tried 50+ mobile browsers, and opera mini 5 really really kicks the collective ass!!!! To think it's just the 'beta'!!!!!!!!!
It works like a dream on my e71, and in addition to the shiny new ui and features I'm pretty sure it loads pages a bit faster as well!!!
Best blo*dy program ever!

Now that's what i call a mobile browser! It's fantastic!

works fine on my k800i.

Anyone worked out a way to transfer favourites from the old version?

Don't think you can at the moment they dropped Opera's service for syncing your bookmarks but I guess that it will come back since this is only a beta.

Maybe the title of this post should be changed to Opera Mini 5 beta to reflect what it is as it's not opera mini 5 final version.

Installing it now. Reading the replies here and it all seems pretty positive. My eyes lit up when I read about the 'Open in new Tab' option.

I opened 4.2 and 5 at the same time and copy/pasted the important ones... Only way at the mo', I think...

Inline editing
tab browsing
copy paste
Password manager

Best thing since sliced bread!
Handy copy & paste tool too

Looks nice - but what's the difference between Opera Mini and Mobile? I'm on Opera Mobile 9.5 at the moment and am tempted to change.

First major diff, Opera mini compress the page upto 90% on their server, hence speed and less data usage.
Opera mini doesnt't play flash as Opera mobile does but you can keep both, it won't overwrite.
it's free and you can save page for later viewing, also comes with download manager ( not in this beta) and password manager.
you didn't mention what mobile you are using?
as opera monile 9.7 is also available from long time now.

Definately a must have browser.

Initially it feels a bit slower and very bloated i think.

But i do like tabbed browsing and the option to copy text from a page too.

So far i'm liking it in general and using it over opera mini 4

Did a quick download (220 KB only - savage) and glance at it on me E71.
No real time to play with it now cos I'm mad busy at work, but it looks quality.
Tabbed browsing is excellent. Just need to get me head around the shortcuts on it, and I'll be flying.
Great software, anyone know wehn it will be out of beta?

What's this like on the N97? I ordered mine online a few days ago. Has it got the kinetic scrolling thing like an iphone browser?

Found a few bugs.

It made my N95 restart once.

Sometimes when scrolling it scrolls too far, once continuing to scroll and bounce off the bottom of the page until I pressed up again

It's crashed a few times, sometimes randomly and a few times when clicking into a text box

Other than that it's great

Purdy frickin' sweet. Runnin' nice on me nokia 5800 so far anyway. Gave youtube a blast for snitzngiggle so it hung but, other than that, pretty a GREAT mobile browser. Me new default.

Cheers OP

I don't think i'm ever going to take to the keypad on this.
Is there a way to turn it off and use the native touchscreen keypad?

Can't find a way to turn it off in the browser itself.
Went into application settings (on an N97) and set the keyboard to off, it still pops up.

Thanks
