Opera Mobile v10

Alpha Quality

We’re proud to present the first preview build of Opera Mobile 10 for Nokia N8X0.

This Maemo version of Opera Mobile 10 was created as a hobby project by a small team of developers in their spare time. As such, it has not undergone our usual quality assurance processes, and at times may not feel as polished or complete as an official release. This also means that there may never be a “final” release of Opera Mobile 10 for Maemo devices, since it’s just that much more fun to add shiny new features rather than fixing boring old bugs.

There are a number of known issues with this build, listed below:

•Adobe Flash and other plugins are not supported.

•Screen tearing may be visible when panning, especially in portrait mode. We expect to fix this in a future update.

•The built-in on-screen keyboard is not supported. Use the physical keyboard or the on screen keyboard included with Opera Mobile.

•There is no power management support. In practice this means that if you open a page with animations and leave Opera running, you will soon be using a payphone. Power is drained even when Opera is running in the background and/or the screen is turned off.

•If you set Opera as the default browser, for example by installing the Browser Switchboard, an extra empty tab will get opened every time you open a link from an external application.
