okay this is adam lane with pocket now we're going to take a look at opera 9.5 mobile beta first stop this on the HTC Titan too and I have the keyboard slit out one thing I really like about Windows Mobile is that you can control everything with the keyboard so here i go i'm just going to press Start programs and then let her go for opera and we're launching opera now right away you notice some problems there's no soft key menus here so if I press my hardware soft key button nothing happens left and right nothing happens star mini still works that's good ok button work if i use my arrows I can go to different links but can't really zoom out or access any of the menus items can't access the address bar either can't access the favorites so I'm going to have to look for my stylist or I can use my finger but problem with using finger I mean this is covering twenty or thirty percent of screen right now let's try it anyway this is a really excellent figure see it as I'm typing it predicts what website i'm typing based on size that i've been in past so i can just click that this is on a Wi-Fi connection right now I have the fit to screen option turned on so although everything is jumbled together you actually have to access this button right there to access the options it's not labeled on anything so it's kind of hard to understand I turn off fit the screen maybe where's my stylist it's going to load like it what I'm desktop so all the way zoomed in right now double tapping zooms out there's no way of knowing how to do that unless there's a hope file somewhere I don't know and double tap it again zooms in but as you can see the type doesn't rack so pretty useless I have to scroll all the way we're here to read that line and it will all the way back over here to read that line not so great but I guess is good that you can see the whole screen now this has automatic full screen mode on so if I want to access other stuff I have to press some kind of button there's an spur and none of these buttons down below are accessible from the keyboard so you're going to have to use your finger or stylus this one shows separate tabs or windows whatever do a new tab and we can type something else mobile.live.com doesn't actually go to the mobile site so we can't really do much there Google does go to the mobile site and that actually works pretty well very nice there's no zooming though this already isn't and there's no scrollbar so you can't really jump all the way down to the bottom you have to scroll like this since pretty tedious to spin we don't know what that does lots of unlabeled icons we can't read them beginners I can understand them difficult to learn this button like this does back and here you see two tabs and out the house I guess would go home and oh miss Appa page what else we have in here transfers nothing here I guess don't know what that does it's pretty nice history apparently have to double tap those and apparently after double tap this too so that's pretty nice another nice features at the tap and hold menu and you can send the image or save the image that's excellent I cannot select text however I don't have to save the page I guess oh here we go text selection huh beautiful selection off where is that it would be nice if all of these options were accessible with the keyboard but I guess opera is mostly designed for touch screen devices only so you're going to have to use your finger or stylus nothing I don't like is that this is all black whereas my theme would be nice blue let's look at the settings again can change your home page there change some display options there these password management alright nice now there's a check mark an X at the bottom it would have been nice if those were words that people can read because I'd rather haven't okay and the hardware buttons normally associated with those areas of the screen don't actually activate those functions so could be better and that's it
