Is there a Opera 10 version for the Leo with Multitouch?
No, there is not.
install Zoomer app
Zoomer is an okay workaround but it doesn't refocus the pages when zoomed in so things look pixelated when you use it. I'm hoping Opera releases a multi-touch version soon.
You can hope, but Windows Phone 7 is coming and support for Windows Mobile is almost dead now.

Despite the fact that WP7 is months away, WM6 will still be supported as long as people have WM6 phones and will buy software for them. WP7 is not the successor to WM6 - they're different platforms.
Back to the OP.

Opera 10 was not made for the HD2, whereas Opera 9.7 was. Hence the lack of multi-touch.
I saw this and was playing around with the Opera 10 Beta that NRG cooks into his Energy ROMs. This Opera actually allows for multi-touch. I am able to pinch-to-zoom in slightly when in far out zoom, and again a little more when in full in zoom.
Not sure which build of beta he is cooking into his ROMs as the 'About Opera' only states that its 10 beta. But yes, this Opera allows for a slight bit of pinch-to-zoom.
*Edit* After some thought, this just maybe something enabled in BsB Tweaks...

Hello all,
I'm totally new to this so please be a little patient with me.
Last week I bought a second hand HTC Touch Cruise. After playing a while and learning hoe to use I noticed some discrepancies between the software and the manual.
In ROM settings I found:
Released at XDA-developers.com
Polaris (Build 0.60)
(c)2007 bepe @ Polaris Project
Thanks to: maimach, ...
Edition: Full
ROM date: 17.03.2008
Build time: 15:11:29
My questions:
1. So this is not an original Windows Mobile 6.1?
2. Should I upgrade this, if yes: how?
3. I'm missing the Windows Live Messenger
4. I totally do not like the Opera Browser, but this seams fixed and automatically being used
5. Windows Update is gone; do I miss something there
6. Is it possible to go back to the original Windows? And what would I miss with that?
Thanks for your patience, and hopefully someone can guide me through this.
Greetings,

Yes, you have a custom version of Windows Mobile installed on your device. HTC has not yet released a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM for the Touch Cruise yet. From factory, they all come with Windows Mobile 6.0 installed. The factory version has Pocket IE setup as the default browser, along with Opera 8.65 installed. Also, the factory version does not have threaded SMS and zooming in IE, since those are features of WM6.1, not WM6.0. If I were in your shoes, I'd keep the Bepe ROM just a little while longer as the official HTC WM6.1 release should (fingers crossed) be here any day now. I'd upgrade to that, instead of going back the the official WM6.0 ROM at this point only to upgrade to the official ROM when its released shortly.
Also, you might want to go to Opera.com and download the Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta. Its a much improved browser akin to the iPhone Safari experience.
Hello,
Thanks for your advice.
Yes, I will wait.
I installed the Opera 9.5beta, but I still get the problem of extreme miniaturized webpages, so I will stick to IE for now.
What about Live Messenger? I cannot get int from the Microsoft site. Is it available here?
Thanks, Arnie
Hi -- the legwork for all your questions has already been completed -- try out the forum search feature, it works very well.

Do some browsing around these forums and you'll discover a lot. A search for Live messenger cab will reveal some download links. Double tapping on the screen will zoom in when using Opera Mobile 9.5. Double tapping again will zoom you back out.
I saw several threads that discussed the x7510 with Opera but none that examined the version of Opera installed in the x7510 as delivered vs. updates released since the x7510 started shipping.
I tried Opera 9.51 beta and liked its features but I felt like the display was fuzzier than the 9.5 version in my x7510 -- the 9.51 beta was a bit faster though and offers widgets which I didn't really checkout but do extend Opera's capabilities.
Anyone have any suggestions from their experience with newer versions of Opera?
And how do you either overwrite or remove the installed Opera?
Thanks!
For those of you who have been working on early builds of Windows Mobile 6.5, I was wondering if you might know whether a program that was designed for WM5 (using the sidebar scrolling) can utilize the flick scrolling that I see working on the home screen for WM6.5. Does a program have to utilize this feature or is it native to WM6.5 so that any older program can use it? Thanks.
Not quite sure how the WM6.5 scrolling works, but I think it *should* make pages flick-scrollable (it seems acceptable for 2009...)
You can try out FTouchSL (www.ftouchsl.com), or SPB Pocket Plus (http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/pocketplus).
They both cost money.
Though I advise you to eventually upgrade to a newer phone, WM7 is coming up!
While I would like to wait for WM7, I need to update my old 8125 because the mini USB port broke and the RAM memory is too low to support certain programs. Programs such as Epocrates on the WM platform are still running with side bar scrolling (the interface on the iPhone is much nicer) and I'm wondering if finger scrolling would work even though Epocrates was made for scrolling using a Dpad (which many phones lack) or stylus friendly side bar scrolling. Esword is another program made the same way. Anyone try the early versions of WM6.5 with older programs that have such limitations?
Personally I use Opera Mini - cant stand Mobile - but I am curious to what other people are using and what the balance really is.
I've only used Mini briefly, but I found it to be unbearably sluggish compared wih Mobile. The zoomed-out page was also lacking in detail - text reduced to a horizontal line. I'm using my HD2's built-in Mobile 9.7 at the moment. I may switch to Mobile 10 when it comes out of beta - current version is a little too unstable for me. But I'd miss pinch-to-zoom.
I did have some problems with Mobile 10 on my Touch Pro2 - it used so much memory the whole phone ended up grinding to a halt. But on the HD2 it's very slick.
Really depends on which phone you have, on QVGA devices Mini makes a lot more sense but on VGA and WVGA the mini rendering is unusable.
Hi,
does anyone know when will be released new version 2.0 of Skyfire for Windows mobile ? I don't know why they didn't release new version also for Windows mobile or Symbian . I miss in version 1.5, TABS, touch FLASH PLAYER for playing video and faster page rendering [ faster rendering of "gray squares" ] and all this things have version for Android .
Thanks.
I need a wm version too. I've seen the video demonstration on an android device -> waaaouuuu
any date for the wm version ?
I just wanted a browser with flash support for use on my HTC S710 WM 6 S. ..
as far as i'm aware, they stopped development for winmo right now. they were supposed to have skyfire for blackberry a year ago and they stopped the development for that too. all focus is on android atm
android = teh sux lol.. but if you think about it winphone7's are coming out soon-ish. so why dev for 6.5 when its going to be outdated sooner rather than later. im kind of worried that windowsphone7 doesnt have any backwards compatability with 6.5 but then again it might not matter.
R.I.P.
Support for WM (and Nokia) pulled without (much) notice. Skyfire for Windows Mobile is dead. Only currently-supported platforms are iOS and Android. Some quote I found from Googling says they couldn't figure out a way to successfully monetize the WM user base so we're cut out. Bastards.
