Zoom Level difficulties

Hi,

Opera Mobile 10 doesn't seem to handle mobile websites all too well on my HTC HD2. Among them:

mobile.bahn.de
m.spiegel.de
m.zeit.de
m.engadget.com

especially the zoom levels and/or page widths don't fit.

regards

I can add more mobile friendly sites with the same problem

These websites have a horizontal scroll even if the mobile option in settings in turned on.
I cant wait to get the fix for this as these are websites I use often. Presently using opera 9.7 as my primary browser because of this problem. I must note that beta 3 didnt have this problem.

Since you mentioned Der Spiegel, right now I'm using Opera Mini 5, and oddly enough, m.spiegel.de occupies only half the width of my screen in portrait mode, which happens whether or not I use mobile view. Seems like the exact opposite to what Mobile 10 does, but neither result is correct. It looks like the site's viewport tag is being misinterpreted.

Opera 9.7 renders most mobile websites perfectly fine, Opera 10 almost none ... not that much an improvement wink

I'm afraid all of them, including 9.7 and all releases of 10, have difficulty with some desktop sites, as well. On several pages of my own site, which is designed for desktop viewing, the text is in a single, centered table, about 75 to 80% of the page width, with a photo at the top center. There's nothing else on the page, and there are no tables nested inside the main one. Very simple, basic HTML, but when Opera reflows the text in desktop mode, all of it appears in a narrow column at the left, leavng the photo in the center. Ugly! Mobile mode does a better job of centering, but then I lose the left and right margins.

I don't have this problem with the Iris Browser, which shows the page exactly as it was intended to look. Same goes for Skyfire, and any desktop browser.

I have an HTC HD2, and Opera 10 doesn't render pages correctly (where the "zoomed in" appearance is 1:1 at 100% zoom). Instead, 60% has to be used to get somewhere close to 1:1, but it still doesn't look right and images are horribly aliased. It seems to be a problem with all wvga devices on Windows Mobile.
If you agree with this, bother Opera developers so that it gets fixed. It's something simple, essential, and that should have worked correctly from the get-go. Instead, we'll be waiting for 10.1 to address the issue.
