I just downloaded Opera. This is what i have been waiting for. I got my Girl an iPhone last year and if there is anything great about the iPhone is the Safari Browser. Finally I can browse multiple websites on my WM6 phone! I mainly use my phone to browser the net and find new upcoming gadgets will at work. Texting and Email.
I have used OPERA before on my Nokia N80 and it was better browser than the Original Nokia’s one, Particularly I did not have any warnings of the type “short memory”. Opera is faster and more reliable.

I use my Dash for surfin’ the web and Opera kicks a** over PIE. I’m using Opera mini right now. Intomobile rocks!
I’m on the internet all the time on my phone and from what I’ve seen, opera 9.5 is definitely better then the crap browser on my voyager. If I win, I will be online much longer.
I’ve yet to see a good phone browser outside of Opera
I use my phone to surf the web at work and on the go, sometimes I even use it at home instead of my computer. I spend more time texting and surfing than I actually do talking on my phone. I use google maps and Windows live for directions and gps. I don’t go anywhere without my phone.
Opera 9.5 will help me because I can’t use IE to access my bank account and I would like to be able to access my my account while I am not at home. I would also like to be able to browse some of my favorite sites without getting the mobile version. You can’t really access yahoo sports on Mobile IE.
9.5 final may or may not be free. If it isn’t, your 8.65 license will work with 9.5 gold.
I frequently use my web browser in my n95 for checking balances, scores, wiki…but since i dropped this phone too many times…it crashes like a car without brakes….anyway back to the point, it wont load up my american express website…so i really am in a dire need of operaaaa
I want to get Opera because it will make me a bigger success socially, because i never talk to people in person, only on my phone, because that’s how the cool kids do it.
also i can read about world of warcraft at work while i’m supposed to be working and no one will ever catch me
I want one .. Please i never win anything
I use Opera mobile for browsing for news, weather and entertainment and of course reading blogs.
I don’t use Opera Mobile because the Safari browser on my iPhone is much better than this p.o.s.
Need to browse. I have opermini its great, but my son wants to browse more flash enabled kid sites while on the go. Give us a freebie!!. we will love it!!
hmm…frankly opera helps me “show off” what my pocket PC could do !
Will be great to update my wing’s browser and read better intomobile.com
I want to win. I need something better for my Sprint Mogul than the built in PIE. The beta is looking pretty good and seems to work well, Im looking forward to the final release.
I use my Dash for surfin’ the web and Opera kicks a** over PIE. I’m using Opera mini now. Intomobile rocks!
I use my Dash for surfing the web, e-mail, games and Opera kicks a** over PIE. I’m using Opera mini now. Intomobile rocks!
Lets see here! I own a Palm Centro smartphone and I would say my main use is definitly internet! I have accounts on myspace, deviant art, yahoo, google, HERE, etc. that I check daily on my phone. The only problem is that I have tried and downloaded Opera Mini before on my phone and I get this error that sayes, “Please ensure that IBM’s WebSphere Micro Environment Java VM is installed” No idea what that means so unfortunately I haven’t been able to use and version of the app. I would love to have it because all the reading I’ve done on it suggests that it had a full html browser. I would love to have a feature like that so I can view the web in a more crisp sort of way. If by any chance I do win this, can you please let me know how to fix this error?

I use my phone for calendar, contact, note, task, and email syncing. I honestly believe that Opera Mobile will make me happy, mainly due to my experience using it on my Archos, it’s amazing on it and wish to try it out on my mobile. I’ve tried the mini, and it’s ok, but I want to dive into the mobile version.
I use my mobile device (ATT Tilt) for just about anything I can and at any chance I get. I use it to filter my calls and stay connected with friends, family, and coworkers. If you don’t have my cell number or email you’ll won’t get a hold of me because I never answer my home phone. My home phone is a solicitation land mine as it is a cheap, low end model so it has no caller id. I also use my device for messaging; texting, email, and the almighty, very inappropriate yet absolutely hilarious MMS. I’m sure everyone has received one or two of these. The organizational apps are something that I take use daily. I use the calendar to remember appointments, the alarm clock wakes me up on time, and the calculator helps me with finances. I also use my mobile fo multmedia play back. My device has a 2GB card in it which holds my music, photos, and videos. My phone is also my camera though I don’t use it often I do use it in certain situations. I use it mainly for fun(ny) times with family and friends. I used it in a more serious sitaution when I got rear ended a few months ago. Web browsing is mainly what use my Tilt for. Surfin’ the net makes up about 60% of my mobile use pie chart. Last, but not least I use it for LBS. Windows live search make practically makes 411 obsolete. On top of that my devices gps takes me to the door step of anything I’am looking for. My mobile device is my everything device. Ipod $150, digital camera $200, PDA $300, PND $350, all of these in one device priceless. A license for Opera 9.5 would certainly make my mobile day, especially if it were free.
I am old and rickety, and Opera Mobile 9.5 is so relaxing and wonderful to use everyday that it makes me forget I’m old and rickety.
I use my Dash for surfing the web, e-mail, games and Opera kicks a** over PIE. I’m using Opera mini now. Intomobile rocks, but it would supremely rock if I won this!
I use my phone to surf the web (using it right now to post this message), text and play games. That’s pretty much it. Every blue moon I may use it as a phone.
lolz
Hmm, I don’t really know what opera mobile is and I probably don’t need it but I want it soo badly! Winning it would make my life better as I’d finally be able to say that I won something before
It’s great to have gotten the lic. for Opera Mobile. So far it’s been great,I dl’ed the beta,it is awsome. I love the tabs, I’m still messing around with it but so far it’s good. Only one downside…it’s memory intensive…can’t wait for the official release of 9.5
Thanks Will and the whole Into Mobile team.
I’d like to have one
What they’ve been promoting heavily in Opera 9.5 for mobile is the widgets.
I do use the Nokia’s standalone widsets, but it would be interesting and but mostly practical to have that integrated inside the webbrowser itself.
The support for uploading pictures and files to other sites is also welcomed as this will give one access from one application which is great. Much less hassle and getting more things done.
I just hope they haven’t moved too far away from their core functionality such as they webbrowsing. I’ve used Opera 8.65 before, but thought it was really bad when it came to caching, not to talk about loading pages.
In fact I got better loading speed by using the S60 browser, which was a great disappointment for me.
(I even found Opera Mini doing the job better).
Before the S60 3rd edition I also used Opera Mobile but I found that the NetFront browser was superior here also.
I do feel that maybe I’m a bit stingy here, but this is only based on my own previous experiences.
That being said I really hope they’ve fixed these issues in Opera Mobile 9.5
That way they can really prove me wrong.

May I have one pls?
I use my Sprint Touch as my primary internet connection and thus, 99% of my time surfing the web is directly through my phone. With Opera 9.5 mobile, we just may finally be seeing a “real” web browser for mobiles and so winning would help me out tremendously as at this point anything is better than PIE! I’ve tried the 9.5 beta and only disappointment is the lack of “Fit to Screen” mode that Opera used to do so well. Here’s to hope!
Opera Mobile Browser is really Great, i wish to win
i use Opera ALL the time. PIE is just…lacking. please don’t condemn me to using PIE. let me become one with the multifunctionality of Opera 95.
I work in a mortuary, and I use my Sprint Mogul for everything. I have several programs and services that I use to help me with my work. I even use to phone to go online and show my families pictures of caskets. If I need to contact another mortuary out of state, I go online to search for one. I think using Opera 9 would be extremely helpful in many ways.
I would do anything for Opera 9.5. If I have to hold up a sign on a street corner I will: Will comment for Opera 9.5.
I use my BJ II for the internet so much, I got warned by AT&T that i went over the 5 gb cap!! I’m always on the internet either using it to get the bus routes, look up info on the BJ III, or even watching YouTube videos and i’m too poor for that new fangled fancy iPhone 3g or G3 or watcha ma call it
I’m in, but will it work w/ S60?
I use my G810 for sex
damn it!!! Send me my code!!!
Hey Intomobile, I think I left my opera 9.5 license at your house. If you find it could you please email me to let me know. Thanks.

I’d love to get a copy of Opera Mini 9.5
I consider myself addicted to the browser, I’m constantly logging into Facebook and utilizing precious bathroom time to catch up on my RSS Feeds. This could make the experience all that much more enjoyable
I hope I am not late,I really want this nice browser for my smart phone.
Opera is excellent on my destop; can’t wait to use it on my cell…
I guess I need a Winmo device soon, really sick of my small screen using OperaMini, or are there any other better suggestion to use Opera Mobile 9.5 besides Winmo? Not sure how Symbian platform performs well with it?

Opera Mobile Browser Rules, will spend hours everyday using it.
HI,
I would line to have Opera Mobile.
Regards, Nikola.
I have been using the beta since it was first released. The beta is a little rough around the edges, but it still beats the pants off any browser out there on the winmo platform. Especially since so few of us have been able to experience the all, but nonexistent Skyfire beta. I have read several comments complaining about 9.5. MSMOBILES.com posted an article about the browser being unusable. Other individuals are saying that 9.5 is a ram hog. Others say Netfront and mini 4.1 are better. One person said to wait for Microsot’s release of PIE based on the IE6 rendering engine. The only thing I would like to say to these comments is Opera 9.5 is a beta people! It is supposed to be slow, buggy, and in some if not most cases a pain to use. On top of that it hasn’t even been out for 7 days. The final subject I would like to address is the horrific resource demands of 9.5. First, if you’re running this browser on a 64MB equipped device I feel your pain. Second, there are a couple of things you can do to control the memory Dracula that 9.5 truly is. you can delete your cache regularly. An alternative to such a tedious task is to move the cache to your storage card. WMEXPERTS.com has posted how to instructions on their site. I decided to go with the latter method and must say I am quite pleased. Opera 9.5 needs about 8-10MB just to run properly. Combine that with its cache being stored to a device and you’re en route to RAM anorexia. I’m sure Opera will address any issues and deliver a well polished, good looking product like always, so don’t fret or panic yet, just be patient. Oh and Intomobile, I am losing my patience over my 9.5 license. Where is it? Just kiddin’!
I use my mobile phone to do just about everything I that I can do from my home computer, check emails,surf the web, check movie times, and paying bills. I even installed mmetrics to monitor my internet usage, hey might as well make get paid to use the net on my phone. I think opera 9.5 would be a great addition to my phone that help me get full pages at a faster rate, so that I can read your site even easier, and with all those widgets who knows what I’ll find.
*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*
In addition to working full time, I am also a full time student. I think that Opera 9.5 would help me by making it easier to go online to my classes and actually be able to view the sites the way they are supposed to be seen. Also the convenience of being able to do this without having to sit at a computer to check my assignments.
