Opera Mini beta for Windows Phone - ready for testing

OK Today's update made Opera stable again.
Please add in Settings an option so as to view, by default, websites in either mobile or desktop view.
Also I have to insist 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 to Opera's.
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.
Thank you.

Now opera goes faster. The only suggestions i can give is the trasparent tile and the possibility to watch youtube videos.

Another suggestion is to add an option so as to pin Bookmarks as shortcut tiles in the start screen,
and why not to give those tiles the option of being 'live tiles' (i.e. pinned tiles which are able to present relevant and lively updated information on the webpages they are related to).

Hi guys nice effort.
www.jw.org/en/ is my favourite,much used website. Not set out well by OM. WEBSITe is available in a world record amount of languages.(500+) site exhibits instability as well. Could you take a look for a possible fix? Thanks in advance -

Hi.
After five installations (and in some of them the app didn't even open) it's working in Lumia 630 dual-sim (0.9.0.3 in wp8.1)
I didn'y read all the comments but i would like to propose that the adress bar could be hide ou seen with a "click", opposed to being always in the top. Because we have to scroll all the way to the top to change de adress, if we are seeing the bottom of the page,. This is not very functional.
Maybe this could be done with a "slide down" in the top of the "window".
That's it for now, i will continue to try the beta.
Best regards.

The design simply does not suit to Windows Phone. The icons must loose more dimension and become flat.
Next thing is the search engine, why Bing isn't in the list and why can't we add it or other search engines? The browser still can't asosiate file types with apps on the phone. The loading progress bar is always at the same spot when loading a page, it never makes any visible progressso yeah its still an ugly browser, but improvements are on the way i guess?

I just got an update for Opera Mini, this time the app did not crash. The UI is a little too simple though, its like one of the earlier version of Opera Mini for android devices. But it loads page faster than Nokia's Xpress Browser. And pages looks better compared to UC Browser express mode. Keep up the good work... *** three star for now :drunk:

I'm just grateful Opera has resurrected their browsers for Windows Phone. I've been an Opera user on the desk top since Opera ver. 2.32 about 18? years ago. Even paid for two licenses and updates for 4.0 I look forward to your continued efforts on behalf of WP. I'm typing this on my Lumia 520 w\ WP8 and Cyan. Seems very stable. Thanks!
