The Diablo install of Opera Mobile does have a 14Meg footprint which feels a tad much. Will try to see if it can be 'justified'

Wow - you've really made my day!
This is the first decent alternative to the built-in browser for the N900 I've seen. It's really fast. Seems faster at displaying the previous page too (and, thank god, it's got a proper Back button instead of that fancy shmanzy Visual History that's pointless most of the time).
Love the single-tap zooming and tabs. I also find the virtual keyboard much more usable than the built-in one (for the purpose of entering urls and search terms at least). Also really like the safari 3-style progress indicator in the address bar.
These were just my first impressions after a few minutes playing with it. I'm sure I'll find a pile of bugs afterwards But first impressions is what matters the most. It's so rare to find a piece of software on Maemo that makes you go wow straight away from both the UI and the functionality perspective that you deserve a big praise here.
Really hope that this won't become an abandoned experiment and that you'll keep making this even better.
Edit: just noticed that the virtual keyboard works in portrait mode too! Boy, I'd be happy to pay for this thing if it wasn't free.

so i downloaded the deb from here "http://deb.opera.com/maemo/pool/non-free/o/opera-mobile/" and installed it.

I have a quick attempt at a workaround for the not saving settings issue. From a terminal window run:
We are working on a fix, though we can't reproduce it on any of the devices we have here in the office, so it may take a while. 
In the meantime, if those of you who experience the problem would PM me the following info (before doing the workaround above!) it would help us greatly:
- Output from running
- Output from running
Code:
rm -rf /home/user/.opera mkdir -p /home/user/.opera/ds
In the meantime, if those of you who experience the problem would PM me the following info (before doing the workaround above!) it would help us greatly:
- Output from running
Code:
echo $HOME
Code:
ls -la /home/user/.opera
