The Opera Mobile 11.5.1 update was released last week. It is available today for download from m.opera.com, and will shortly be available in the Ovi Store.
It's been a very busy week here at Opera, but our developers aren't done yet
Today we released the Opera Mobile 11.5.2 update. It is available now in Android Market and will be available on our servers later today. All users are recommended to update.
This update contains one major change in Opera's behavior. Previously Opera would block pages from redirecting to themselves. This was done to ensure that self-refreshing pages would not incur cost to users. Unfortunately this was causing site compatibility issues so we decided to change it.
You can bring the old behavior back if you want by going to opera:config and enabling "Disable Client Refresh To Same Location".
Just over 3 weeks ago we released Opera Mobile 11.5 for Android. The release was the most successful Android Opera Mobile release in history! Millions of downloads, thousands of 5 star ratings.
Now the same great features found in that Android release are now available for Symbian users. Including Data Usage view and a core upgrade to Opera Presto version 2.9.201.
Opera Mobile 11.5 will now show you exactly how much data you have spent and saved. A dedicated page, easily accessible from the help menu inside the Opera Mobile, keeps count of how much data you are spending and saving.
The number of megabytes saved while using the Opera Mobile browser can directly translate into money saved if you are roaming or on a pay-as-you-go plan for data traffic.
For people on capped data plans, this is a handy feature to make sure you don't max out reaching those slow, punishing network speeds you might encounter after using up your allowance.
Did you ever wonder how much data Opera Mini and Opera Mobile saves users? We did too.
Bounce over to Opera.com to check out the "Total Data Saved" counter clock showing just much data Opera has saved users since today's launch.

Release notes for mobile
This build is based on Opera Mobile 11.5 for Android, and installs side-by-side next to the regular Opera Mobile 11.5 for Android.
This build is considered experimental and is intended for development and testing purposes only.
This build has not gone through full release testing, and may include unknown bugs or issues.
Two opera:config preferences are turned on by default: “Scroll is Pan” and “Smooth Scrolling”. As a consequence of this, long press and text selection are broken.
The device API does not have a user interface yet.
Last week's launch was the most successful launch in the history of Opera Mobile!!
Some interesting launch statistics from week 1. Opera Mobile 11.5 saw hundreds of thousands of downloads, averaged over 4.6 in Android Market ratings, and ultimately received over 1000 5 star ratings.

Opera Mobile 11.5 will now show you exactly how much data you have spent and saved using the two products and, in turn, the money and time you save.
A dedicated page, easily accessible from the help menu inside the Opera Mini and Opera Mobile browsers, keeps count of how much data you are spending and saving in total, or for a specific timeframe like a trip abroad with roaming.
The number of megabytes saved while using the Opera Mobile browsers can directly translate into money saved if you are roaming or on a pay-as-you-go plan for data traffic.
For people on capped data plans, this is a handy feature to make sure you don't max out reaching those slow, punishing network speeds you might encounter after using up your allowance.

Opera Mobile is a full browser with client-side support for JavaScript, HTML5, Flash (Android only) and more. In Opera Mini, the browser engine is running on Opera's servers. Web pages are transcoded and compressed up to 90% before being downloaded to the device, making Opera Mini lightning fast and also much cheaper if you are paying per megabyte.
