Opera 8.5 Pocket PC beta version is based on the same core as the Opera 8.5 desktop browser and brings the full internet to mobile Pocket PCs. The version is available for both WM 2003 and WM 5.0. We tested the browser and we were very happy to see that it supports the VGA resolution out of the box, as our comparative screenshot reveals. There are still bugs though, namely with zoom control, fonts become huge when unchecking the "fit to screen" option or going landscape, and the fact that it doesn't pop up the virtual keyboard when a form field/URL-bar is focused. Other than that, it looks great.

Are you aware of the fact that Pocket IE is a somewhat limited application which isn't exactly as 'good enough' as its desktop counterpart?
Then you leave Mobile Windows users with their inferior IE. Bet on the fact that Microsoft wants to make IE the default, and it doesn't help Opera supporting platforms where they are simply not welcome.
