Thanks for the news item about this. I updated my Omnia and it worked smoothly. I don't know if I see any major differences, but launching a Web page from E-mail now seems to work all of the time. Previously, if Opera wasn't already running, the page load would seem to hang and I'd have to press Stop, tap the address bar, then press the Enter keyboard key to get the page to actually load.

Unfortunately, a couple issues from the previous update are still there. Specifically, old-style menu bars aren't rendered properly. They're still there, but the text is often obscured by graphical garbage. Programs like Calc98 are harder to use because of that.
