Yes. Opera Mini 5.1 has been released. This does not have any new features but, according to the opera blog, it will be able to run in phones that have less memory e.g. Nokia S40. SE users shouldn't have problem.
. and probably fixes few bugs too.

Official Opera Portal notice:
Today Opera has released an update to Opera Mini that improves the browsing experience on many phones.
The world's most popular mobile phone browser gets an update that allows an improved experience on more than 3000 mobile phones.
The update to version 5.1 introduces a new installation process that optimizes Opera Mini on phones that with limited memory. This allows for more pages to be opened at the same time, and overall improved browsing performance.
There are no major new features introduced in Opera Mini 5.1, but this update is highly recommended for users of Nokia S40 feature phones with limited memory, such as the popular Nokia 5130 XpressMusic, Nokia 6300 and Nokia 2700 handsets. This upgrade will also benefit phones with a small screen size, such as the Sony Ericsson K550i and Sony Ericsson W810i phones. In addition, Opera Mini 5.1 will improve the browsing experience for those who have encountered out-of-memory issues or the need to reload open web pages while surfing with Opera Mini 5. The update is not critical for Opera Mini users on smartphones or high end devices.
To download Opera Mini 5.1, go to m.opera.com with your phone's default browser and Opera will automatically select the optimized version for your phone.

If you install it over previous version (without uninstalling or deleting), the bookmarks, saved pages wont disappear. Dont delete the previous version. (saved pages are saved in memory, so they wont get deleted, just locate the saved pages folder after installing).

Press release:
One browser. 3000 phones.
Opera updates Opera Mini, improving the Opera Mini experience on selected phones
Oslo, Norway — July 8, 2010
Opera Mini, the world’s most popular mobile phone browser with over 61 million users worldwide, delivers the best Internet experience possible on more than 3000 mobile phones.
Today, Opera introduces Opera Mini 5.1, an update to the popular Opera Mini 5, which further improves the browsing experience on phones with limited memory. The update includes a new optimized browser skin allowing for more pages to be open at the same time, more rapid scrolling through pages, and overall improved browsing performance.
This update is highly recommended for users of Nokia S40 feature phones with limited memory, such as the popular Nokia 5130 XpressMusic, Nokia 6300 and Nokia 2700 handsets. This upgrade will also benefit phones with a small screen size, such as the Sony Ericsson K550i and Sony Ericsson W810i phones. In addition, Opera Mini 5.1 will improve the browsing experience for those who have encountered out-of-memory issues or the need to reload open web pages while surfing with Opera Mini 5. The update is not critical for Opera Mini users on smartphones or high end devices.
“The goal with Opera Mini is to make the Web available to anyone, anywhere, regardless of where they come from or the handset they have,” says Lars Boilesen, CEO, Opera Software. “More than 61 million people on over 3000 devices have chosen to surf the Web with Opera Mini for fast and easy Internet access at a considerably lower cost.”
Opera Mini compresses data by up to 90 percent before sending content to the phone, resulting in faster page loading and speed. This compression dramatically reduces data load, which translates to lower browsing costs when on a pay-per-MB data plan, especially when roaming.
I did an update on my thread.

After knowing the latest release, i downloaded from wap site but when i run for the first time, it stucked on installing page showing only 20% progress in bar. I kept it for 10 mins but no progress at all. I have deleted the old one and installed once again. But the same.
I repeated that for 4-5 times with one restart of phone but it stucked on same point. So i had to remove all the applications and games from phone and emptied ams folder. Then i installed after one more restart and it run well.
Apart from my bad experience, i find no speed difference from v5.0.
About post bug, let me tell you i had not experience this bug from the last varient of v5.0 so i guess this version is also this bug free. Couple of days' use will give you the perfect idea about it.

This first half hour 5.1 is doing great. It looks even faster
Posted by suresh86
This version seems a lot smoother and bit faster. But the facebook bug(page loading after writing a comment or status) still prevails. I think its the problem with opera engine(4.2 does the same thing, but it loads the whole page).
I hope they will sort it out quickly.

installed it and connected via wi-fi, smooth on my 5530 and i think it's more faster than the v5.0
Posted by ceaser2008
Well from my use of approx 4 hours of v5.1, i have found few positives and negatives as follows.
Positives
1. Loads pages very fast.
2. Opens more tabs. I have opened 10 simultaneously.
without out of memory page.
3. Running smoothly.
Negatives
1. So far i have experienced the re-post bug once.
2. When more than 3-4 tabs opened and when you click on something on any page, that page is cleared. Totally white page without any message but your command (click) is executed. If you press back again white screen appears. You have to reload that page.
Thank you.

The white page bug was also in 5.0 it started a month or 2 ago. Haven't had the reload bug for 2 months, coincidence?

TFS bro!!

i'd also experience that white page bugs few months ago, it happens to me when im opening 3-4 tabs, the pages is cleared and need to be reloaded...
Posted by boy.in.PINK
same goes for me... Same pros, cons, and bugs experienced as yours.
Posted by ceaser2008
Brys, that is not bug. The page is cleared due to low memory and it needs to reload when you want to see that page again. But here i am talking about different thing than this. This time it clears the page on which you have clicked. Not like you cycle through other tab and came back to this tab and you see it is cleared and need to reload with same message on screen. This time it whites out the screen as soon as you clicked something. It is like on high speed internet when you click something and it executes in a moment but here when you click, it wipe out the page but took some time to execute your click.
I hope this time i am clear.

I've downloaded OM 5.1 and tried to view a video in Facebook. After clicking the link, a popup appears with "Download File" and a dropdown of the folders where the video will be saved. Then my Elm will download the video. After the download, it is not played in OM. Instead, I can play the video by going directly to the folder.
Is this the same as yours?
I've used OM 4.2 before and it was video streaming (not video downloading). If I'm doing it wrong, please guide me. Thank you.
