Opera today announced the availability of Opera Mobile 9.5 on the new HTC Touch Diamond. The customized HTC-specific version enables easy one-handed viewing and effortless navigation. Page viewing and panning allows users to scan and navigate pages quickly while Opera Zoom enables users to dive into the page and get closer to the content they want. Turning the device sideways automatically rotates the Web page view from a portrait to landscape view.


Opera Mobile 9.5 makes multi-tasking easier than ever before with improved tabbed browsing. In addition, productivity tools like the ability to save pages for offline browsing, Web address auto complete and password manager allow for a more enjoyable experience. In addition, Opera Mobile 9.5 gets users closer to family and friends as it allows users to easily share images from online photo albums or any other Website through MMS or e-mail.

Other features in Opera Mobile 9.5 include:

* Tabbed browsing
* Improved text wrap
* Landscape mode
* Call phone number directly from Web page
* History and bookmarks
* Copy text

“Opera Mobile 9.5 on the HTC Touch Diamond will bring to customers the most powerful Web browser yet on a mobile phone,” said Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software. “Opera is on the road to give mobile Web browsing a complete facelift and an elevated user experience. This is just the beginning.”

For those Opera users who think it is a bit slow, here is a tricks to make it faster than before.
Just follow these steps:

1. First go to Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Network
2. Select Server name completion.
3. Now you have two options within it;
Try name completion

Look For local network machine

4. If you uncheck both of the above options, i.e.; Try name completion and Look for local network machine, Opera will stop cycling your CPU, trying to guess what you’re typing in the address bar.
5. Restart the browser after applying the settings. You’ll see the speed difference.

Enjoy a faster Opera experience :)
