I'd also like to know that.
Could someone from Opera team answer this question?

Hey, but actually we don't need Opera Browser, beacuse we got IExplorer with hardware acceleration...and it is pretty fast. We still don't have hardware acceleration in Desktop Opera, which is pretty funny wink
By the way, I'm much curious Opera Mobile on WP7.

Cheers for Windows Phone 7 users p

Opera MINI for WP7 will add a WAY faster experience as Opera uses their own proxies with image size reduction which increases speed on mobile phone downloads.

So I really hope they will get their fingers out and not ignore this platform.

I'm hoping for Opera for my wp7 too. I have worked hard to get the word out about Opera and it's the only browser we use and I got my 16 year old daughter using it over Chrome (even though she initially said she like Chrome better). Come on guys, hook a brother up!

Please everyone give 3 votes for this suggestion on "Windows Phone Marketplace Request" page:
http://wprequests.uservoice.com/forums/149122-general/suggestions/2582061-opera-mobile-similar-to-android-

If there is enough votes, Microsoft may let Opera develop its apps to WP7!

What happened to Opera for Windows Phone? Hopefully, there isn't trouble from Microsoft 's behalf.

I would love Opera Mini and Mobile as well for WP7. I am getting a Nokia Lumia 900 and will miss Opera there. I have it on my desktop, laptop, Android.

I still believe we do need Opera Mini for WP7 simply because of its unique compression method to save data. I am saying this even though I do not and might not use WP7.


P/S: Sadly, still no on-screen icon or option to use volume button or whatever way to quickly/easily change tab on Opera Mini.

From the very first time I bumped into Opera Mobile browsers, I have never liked any of my phones' default browsers. But I was greatly saddened - and still feels sad - when I realized that version 6 and its updates had been released for various platforms and none had been released for Windows Mobile.

7 has been released for Android and soon, it will be released for Symbian. What are my good friends at Opera doing for those of us using Windows Mobile? If I may ask, are we not in your plans anymore?

In my case I'm not even aiming at Opera Mini compression capabilities... It comes at the cost of full page reloads for simple JS, less Web technologies and poorer experience overall compared to Opera Mobile (it works better in a capable device anyway). Opera Mobile is utterly needed. When browsing on a mobile device I can't live without:
- Text wrap
- Download images on/off
- Custom search engine(s)

- Speed Dial
- Opera Link and Notes (relative as there's link.opera.com)

Windows Mobile is no longer supported, here we are talking about the new Windows Phone operating system (versions 7.0+).

Agree with your question. Opera should straight-up and tell the truth. If they are going to say bye, bye to WM7, then say so. At least some of the hardcore Opera Mini fan can say bye, bye to WM7 too.bigsmile
