Better than I expected after being disgusted with the pre-alpha. Tabbed browsing is "more intuitive" than Opera Mobile; zoom is practically non-existent here; load speed is in the Skyfire/PIE neighborhood; extension support works "almost" like the desktop version; all "buttons" are very intuitive and easily accessed...no guess work at what button does what...i.e. the jigsaw puzzle piece meant only one thing: EXTENSIONS!!; Most sites loaded their mobile counterparts...did have a couple load up the html version. "awesome" bar works just like its desktop big brother...even with some rather obscure entry; about:config turned up some regedits that i didn't understand...but its nice to see the same warranty warning...
It is an alpha, and it shows...HOWEVER..it is still early in development stage...and it is looking RIGHTEOUS!!! Hope they fix the zoom function, can't wait to see the full flash support. For an Alpha it is basically functional...but I'm not about to delete Opera Mobile just yet....now...if they can sync XMarks from the desktop version...hmmmmm
