You can grab v7.10 by pointing Web on your smartphone to m.opera.com. Here's installation and shots of the new version of Opera Mini in action:
Installation - the top link is the one you want...
The Start screen, here remembering my configuration from a previous version, it seems(!); (right) AAS loaded up
The mobile and full desktop versions of IMDB rendered in Opera Mini - as usual, you can pan around and pinch/splay to zoom as needed
Rendering the full monstrosity that's The Verge's desktop site - it loads faster than on my desktop (due to the server-side compression, etc.); (right) YouTube and other streaming video is handled by the server grabbing and transcoding the stream - the end result is 240p at best, but it does provide a way to watch YouTube content and make sense of it even on a slow 3G connection.
