There were some entirely newsworthy things Tuukka wrote, imo. They're trying to get a plugin- interface working (and wanted to get flash working in the beta- stage). They think implementing copy and paste would be "easy" - and that they would do it if it didn't ruin the minimalistic UI.
Here's another bit:

True. We need to have a look into providing means to launch a page so that Gdesk and others could support it.

So I'm looking forward to seeing how it works - specially because of external plugin support (....which it won't be in Opera, on any version, thanks to SE's lack of... lack, and Opera's "close cooperation with Symbian" - that would, allegedly, enable the browser to be integrated elegantly into the UI).
(edit:Besides - imagine something's wrong with the browser, and you can avoid the entire - call SE support.. threaten them on their lives, that kind of thing - wait five months, and not get the bugs fixed in the new firmware - kind of thing.
I have to admit that that sounds pretty good..)

Seems to require registration and waiting.
Can anyone provide a review or some screenshots and maybe a video of it in action?

Just installed it and I have to say I'm liking it so far. I also would welcome a virtual keyboard. |

I am also digging it...its not perfect, of course, its the first beta, but what they are doing in terms of finger optimizacion is very good
Lets all give some feedback to supportATdigia.com

Just tried it...Well it's pretty slow (tested on WLAN) but ok, it's in a beta stage. What I like most is the finger or stylus swiping over the screen for zoom in/out and the minimal self-hiding interface. |

The idea is good. However, I have a few issues:
- its slow, much slower than the built-in Opera on my P1i
- can we have a non-fullscreen option? I like to see the phone's icon indicators
- the address bar implementation needs working on, not too user-friendly
Hopefully, these will be addressed before its out of beta.
