Hi everyone
Last week we asked for your help to test the beta version of Opera Mini for Windows Phone. The test version is now ready and sent to all the testers that signed up for the beta. For those of you early birds that made it into the beta test, we’d really appreciate if you can give your feedback in this forum string, so we can improve the user experience further.
If you’re one of the unlucky ones that missed the chance to join our Windows beta testers group. Don’t despair, we’re also making the build available to all you Opera Forums users. Have a go at it!
UPDATE:
We have now released an update that should improve the crashing problems some of you experience on start-up. Go to the Windows Phone store and get the new build. The issues with not being able to play video on YouTube has also been fixed.

Enjoy!
To start with the positives, the app is not crashing after the update on 9/13. And I really like the tabbed browsing experience here because opening the tabs page on IE on my Lumia 720 takes like forever. The interface looks classic and is snappy.
What it lacks is a private browsing option. And other thing is that it is unable to recognise the phone OS opening primitive sites in place of mobile versions of the sites. Ex. Instead of the prevailing mobile version of youtube , it opens age old version which people used in their non-smart phones
