Thanks for finally coming to WP. I'd preferred Opera Mobile over Opera Mini, but hey, it's a start.
Unlike many others the app doesn't crash at all for me. It runs pretty fast and reliably.
I'll try and summarize what I think needs some refinement and improvement:
-
page loading times. These are definitely slower than what I was used to from Opera Mini on Windows Mobile and Android.
-
Adding a new search provider is too much of a hassle. This should be possible from the manage search providers page.
-
Speaking of search providers. I definitely want to be able to change my default search engine. And I'd like to be able to remove Google from this list completely.
-
Page rendering isn't too great yet. Some pages show the mobile view, some the desktop view. It should be up to the user to decide which view to choose as a setting. Works great for IE.
-
there should be a setting to set the default downloaded folder, to not have to move each and every download from the isolated storage to an SD card or other publically accessible folder permanently.
