Following links in the touch UI, fullscreen mode and Speed Dial
Actually with the touch version of Opera Mobile is very hard to follow links without selecting the wrong link when the page have links too close. In some cases is even worse, because Opera does not show which link it is following. Instead of start to follow a link imediatelly after a tap, it could only select the link. A second tap then could blink the selection box in red, to indicate that that link will be followed. If it is not the right link that we want to follow, we could tap outside the selection box, and then select another link. This will also help to not follow a link by accident, while sweeping around the page.Sometimes Opera Mobile appears to have the behavior I wish above, but this only works sometimes and it appears to rely on the web page we are browsing. Some web sites appears to work, but mostly do not.
In the fullscreen mode, the UI should always show a loading icon to inform us that it is doing something. I think it could also block the page until a new page is loaded or if I tap the stop button to cancel.
When manually adding a link to the Speed Dial, after typing the address in the box, it does not have a way to use that address. Actually we can only use addresses from the Select Address list. There is missing a button to use/save the typed address.

The address field in the "Select Address" screen features auto-completion, simply type the first letter of the website you want to add that you previously typed in the browser and you're done.
