Opera Software is releasing a preview of the latest public version of the Opera browser for Windows Mobile. With Opera Mobile 8.65 (beta), users across all the PocketPC and Smartphone versions of Windows Mobile get a faster and more user-friendly Web experience. Users can enjoy new features such as searching directly in the address bar, grab and scroll (PocketPC only), copy text, save function for images and the ability to import IE bookmarks.

Here’s the page link – but the downloads go to the original page with the old 8.x release…
