Opera Mini beta for Windows Phone - ready for testing

My very first impression on the beta version I have tested is unfortunately not that encouraging
since there are unexpectedly quite a lot of stability issues even for a beta version.Not only am I talking about lack of smoothness, but also as everyone reports too, the browser keeps on crashing, either in the beginning or while one is trying to access several websites .
I believe this issue will only take time to be fixed, so I won't insist on that.Another argument I have lies on the browser's User Interface.
It is ugly if you ask me, or at least it does not comply at all with the Windows Phone UI style rules.
I do get it that Opera needs to stay close to its own graphics interface,
but this result presented in its WP beta version is totally out of order.Being myself for a longtime an Opera - both PC and mobile version - browser user in the past,
even if I personally have been used to apprehend Opera browser's PC and mobile versions interface,
this time I find myself stressed to use Opera's graphics and interface in such a non compliant environment as WP one is.I think everything should be reassessed in this very first Opera WP version,
including the fonts size and type (Segoe fonts much preferred), the colors and their gradients, the styling of the tables as well as the icons implemented (shapes, colors etc in a wholly flat-needed minimal clean design) etc.
This does not necessarily derive in something irrelevant from Opera's appearance guidelines
but only an adaptation to the Windows Phone environment so that the user won't feel strange that much.I have to say I would expect more from what appears to be this Opera Mini WP beta version.
I strongly believe that the User Interface should be much more adapted to the Windows Phone appearance.
Please do mind. -

I'm on a Lumia 1020 with Cyan, 8.1 and update to 8.1.
I'm experiencing instant crashes as soon as I search or click on a link in the menu such as Google Search, and also many crashes as soon as opening the app.
It was working better in the initial release, even though searching often crashed and sometimes the browser didn't load anything (parsing error).
Happy to help any way I can!

I want to mention that app only works in English language. I had to change my region settings to USA to make it work. Hope you'll soon add more regional languages that support Opera Mini.
And of course, there are stuff that are missing from the Android version.
Like many people here, I hoped there will be similar UI design language as WP, but I'm ok with this anyway, same good ol' Opera Mini.
I'm just glad that you actually made an app so needed for this platform and I thank you for that! P.S. I'll keep you p with the issues I'm experiencing. All the best to you guys!

firs of all it's great to have a new browser Option here on Windows phone!
thank you and welcome at wp!
it's also really great that you provide a lot of unique Features that we don't see with Internet Explorer for example.but there are two big things i'd like to point at which are really not good yet:
first is the design: the design of the opera mini beat app is really not worth looking at (sry). it looks like the old opera mini from Windows mobile or even Symbian S40... but this is Windows Phone! it should look more flat and minimalstic. please have a look on Microsofts design Guidelines or on other apps on Windows phone (i.e. here maps or all of the bing apps like News and weather... of course a browser is sth different than a News app but it should still provide great looking design) . it is possible! i believe in you !
the second thing is probably due to the beat status i hope you'll get that fixed for the official version. it's the rendering of websites. it really does a bad job right now. mobile pages look ugly and old fashioned. often the desktop page is required...
looking forward to seeing updates coming!

good day, I think it's great beta OPERA - MINI, but it has a problem, after having downloaded the app tries to open and takes about 3 seconds trying to open but at the end this time the app is automatically closed (single) . this happens to my Lumia 625 (Cyan) with Windows Phone 8.1 Update (8.10.14157.200)

buen dÃa, me parece excelente la beta de OPERA - MINI, pero la misma tiene un problema, luego de haberla descargado, la App intenta abrir y tarda unos 3 segundos el intentar abrir pero al terminar este tiempo la App se cierra automaticamente (sola). esto sucede en mi Lumia 625 (Cyan) con Windows Phone 8.1 Update (8.10.14157.200) -

I try your browser but always after 2 seconds it crashed. Now I can't view any web site beacuse it show a error page. Last suggestion is to implements windows phone metro graphics because the application is really different to the other windows phone app. I wait Opera mini browser for long time and I hope this app can become an alternative to ie. Thanks for your work.
