what about opera mobile 12.00
Kristian LanderThursday, August 2, 2012 9:56:40 AM
Opera 12.01 is for desktop platforms
Opera Mobile and Mini have separate release numbers i believe Mini (which is absolutely brilliant been using it must be 6 years now) is 7.

Opera Mobile i believe like Zeeshan is on 11.

Question is though, what in 12 do you crave that 11 doesn't do?

This is only for desktop.

This updated Opera is not compatible with facebook (tried in 3 different machines, all running W7 Home or Pro). Browsing other sites seems like something's wrong with the JavaScript --but everything seems OK in settings. Again, I blame the update since all this is happening in all my systems.

Great. Hope it fixes a few small issues I have.

Ability to customize the NEW Speed Dial toolbar.

For some reason on two different machines, it defaulted to German after the update...not much fun.

Version 12.00 has disappointed me, not because of its efficiency. After the first successful use is not immediately deleted it. Version 12.01 works fine. Well done, we fixed the error.

The mail service on opera desktop is second to none.it loads your attachment faster like nobody's business.More enhancement for fb required may be fb for opera will do.

Still CANNOT get on to Facebook in this version...
jstealeThursday, August 30, 2012 4:03:38 PM
I am still having a problem that has been on going for several versions now, although continuously. I appears to have either been partially resolved or it is not consistently happening. The problem is that webpages do not fully load. The spinning load icon will go on spinning for ever until you hit the "stop load page" button, the "x" button. The consequences of this glitch is that videos do not load and run and webpages are not fully functional. It seems to affect links to video more than links to other webpages. I did notice that youtube still functions. Any advice? I love Opera but am forced to use IE now due to this problem. Thanks for any input.

Still can't figure out why I can't get on to facebook?
