I'm having the same problems with Opera Mini 5 and OS 5.0.0.323. It's slow and/or not working the majority of the time. It's hard to go back to the orig browser
not having socket is a big drawback for me as well - I keep going back to 4.7 for it. I really want to keep .323, as it's the most responsive OS I've used by far, so a fix to allow socket would be really nice. (I do find it strange that socket works in bolt on OS 5; it's still slower than http with opera mini, but nonetheless, it works)
