Those who have been waiting eagerly for Opera Mobile 9.5 won't have to be patient much longer, as the browser is currently going through final testing before the first beta version is released this coming July 15th. The apparent delay is due to Mobile 9.5 being based on the 9.5 version for the desktop, allowing one to surf the web using a mobile browser without losing out on support for the most updated standards on the Web. It seems as though early versions of the 9.5 are already shipping on the HTC Touch Diamond, as Opera did mention that it was easier to ensure the browser works on one specific handset before it is released upon the rest.
