I just installed it a little while ago.

I don't care much for the new expandable tab bar because it looks like a gimmicky useless addition to me and cuts down my usable screen space, but the option to change the number of sites in the Speed Dial is definitely welcome.

Performance on some web-2.0 heavy sites increased big time for me. An extreme example being Slashdot which made some changes a few weeks ago that made browsing the site a frustrating experience in Opera, that's no longer the case with this beta.

I almost threw in something to the effect of "and now here's joebert with the local Opera expert review". I just knew you'd have the article posted before I got it done.
