Opera Windows Mobile vs Internet Explorer Mobile

I was user Opera 8.65 on my T-Mobile Dash (HTC S-620 Exalibur) more then two years, and this was my best experience ever, with pad on my phone a was able using the Web easily, and settings included most important tools and I even didn't think about using Internet Explorer on my phone.
Everything changed with my new phone Touch Pro 2 (HTC Rhodium). Of course first think what I did was downloading Opera Mobile 10, and I'm sorry, but in my opinion its mediocre. Some pages are formatted to mobile, some aren't, and I was almost did holes on my screen to activate any link, and then nothing happen, or "select text " option (config allow to deactivate that option, but it's working only while , and then again I see 'select text " with disable mark in config ! ), and how about settings ? - you can change almost nothing in the browser, or spend hours with overloaded settings in the config., and then when you finally find something, then it doesn't working anyway.
After 2 weeks when I really try like it, I gave up, and I switched to Internet Explorer Mobile.

I am having the same experience. I had an older version of Opera Mobile on my Motorola Q9c with Windows Mobile 6.1. Now I downloaded Operal Mobile 10 on my Windows Mobile 6.5 touch device and the experience is much worse than the old experience.... the text size is microscopic, sometimes the mobile pages come up, sometimes they don't, I can't get m.cnn.com to come up in the right localized version, and it isn't nearly as fast as previous versions of Opera Mobile.

On the positive side, I do really, really love the speeddial function. I wish IE Mobile had that...

Yeap I like it also , and sync from desktop Opera to mobile Opera ( in the cloud with Opera account).I have a lot favorites, I edited it in the desktop, then I did sync with Opera Link. Imagine Man that features, format pages and flash capability from Skyfire, easy touching and also format to mobile pages from IE mobile in ONE browser !

To be honest, I'm again in love to Opera Mobile.When I got new phone T-Mobile Touch Pro2, I didn't pay too much attention to preloaded set-up ready Opera Mobile 9.5. I installed Opera Mobile 10, which disappointed me. But when I tried preinstaled 9.5, then I discover this version fit my needing, format pages and other things working flawless . "To much spices " in next version ?
