It wouldn’t even start on my S60v3.0 device, and I noticed that when I tried starting, my available memory slowly went to below 1 MB, then jumped back up to previous levels.

Had to close my task manager app and every other little extra process I had running, to start this up. I hope they’ll improve memory consumption in the final version.

However, I’ve noticed a MASSIVE speed penalty compared to Opera Mini 4, but that could just be because it’s only a beta.

Huge step forward. I’m running it on my Blackberry 8330 and it’s working pretty well. About my only complaint so far is that moving the trackball around doesn’t snap to links as well as it did in OM4.
