Opera version in new release (2006.49-2) is 8.02, build 1.1.50. What was it previously (os version 2006.39-14)? You can see it if you type to address bar.

Edit:
Opera still opens two pop-up windows with d-pad selection key and press&hold esc to close one opera window still makes previous window to go back. No change in Opera I guess. Tap&hold with stylus and select 'close window' crashed Opera. Oh well...
