Windows Phone Thoughts: Opera Mobile 9.7 Announced at CTIA

"At next week's CTIA Wireless Show, Opera Software will be announcing the new Opera Mobile 9.7 server-accelerated browser for smartphones and mobile devices. Opera Mobile 9.7 features Opera Turbo, Opera's breakthrough compression technology, along with the company's latest Presto 2.2 rendering engine (also used in Opera 10 desktop) and full support for dynamic Web technologies such as Ajax and Flash (for accessing popular sites like Facebook and YouTube)"

I'm a fan of Opera when it's pre-loaded on my devices, however I've yet to have the ambition to go out and download it to install. Opera Mobile 9.7 though may be tempting to download as we get ever closer to the "real" internet on the "really small" screen.
