That's probably the most convoluted sign-up process I've seen in a while. On the landing page, they ask for an email address, and the hint is "you@myopera.com". So I enter "me@myopera.com" since they must be asking what I want my Opera address to be. Nope. The next page puts that email in a username field, with another email address field below it, and a password field. OK, so what kind of email address do they want now? A confirmation address? Crap. me@myopera.com is an invalid username. Hmm, maybe I'm supposed to put "me" in the username field and me@myopera.com in the email field. Great, they sent a confirmation email to me@myopera.com, which I just created and evidently can't use until I confirm the email address. Fuck it. Back to Gmail. Honestly, how hard is this? 1. "Sign up" link 2. Username 3. Password 4. Done. Show me my inbox with my email address prominently displayed somewhere.
