It says here, that "Developers are invited to create widgets for the Opera for Mobile 9.5 platform, which is included on Nokia 6210, Nokia N78, Nokia N95 8gb and Nokia N96 devices."
I went to http://www.opera.com/mobile/download/ and there is no Opera Mobile 9.5 for S60 devices, only stable version 8.65. Is there a S60 version of Opera Mobile 9.5 available? I would really like to give it a try on my Nokia N95 8GB.
