This web browser is so buggy on a symbian phone that it crashes which also causes the phone to hang too… And i managed to get it without using a us number because for some random reason when i registered they gave my the code through e-mail.

I have succesfully hacked skyfire well not exactly hacked. It is quite simple actiolly. All you need is an us mobile phone number and an e-mail you don’t need the sms the number is the pass. I will post a program that gives you those directly.
O and I am writing from skyfire. It is realy nice. How i figured that out siple this was only for americans. This means that it is something stupid. Then it hit me that the number must be the password. It took me 5 mins to get a random us mobile phone number to use and you have it.

Watch the video and read it’s description!

No way will they be charging for it. IE7 Mobile is expected to support flash and silverlight.

The only thing they got is that you need to login into SkyFire for it to work, so I expect that it not only tracks where you are browsing they include a search facility right the main screen. Plus, it’s soo fast because it’s likely providing pre-fetch caching on it’s servers and providing some level of additional encryption to make browsing as fast as it does. Just my guess..

Been using it since Beta 1. I uninstall and reinstall it and then remember why I uninstalled it in the first place.

If you browse a lot of flash or intense webpages, this will give you that ability on your phone – I don’t. But if you only do occasional browsing and hit mainly HTML pages with pictures on them, this browser is actually a PITA. Hard to explain, but it is. And where’s the tabbed browsing? The next version of PocketIE is supposed to finally feature tabs and auto zooming. I can wait for that.

If Iris could get rid of all the issues with their latest beta, I’d much prefer it for everyday web browsing. But it is VERY slow and crashes quite a bit.

I’m back to PocketIE and Opera Mini again.

Ive been using this on my e51 for about a month, and although its not a terrible browser, it does have some quirks.
#1. the rendered pages are very fuzzy and hard to read. zooming in takes longer then I find acceptable
#2. compared to mini opera, this thing is dog slow.
#3. Ive lost the connection a few times, and the web page doesnt save automatically.
#4. flash videos are stuttery and not in sync with the audio.
#5. You cannot transfer bookmarks from the native symbian app to skyfire
If these issues were addressed, i would be happy.

Downloaded and installed on AT&T Tilt. Looks a little better then IE for Win Mobile. Haven’t had much time to play around more, but the zooming feature was a surprising hit

I’ve used it for a while now. Maybe I’m the only one who doesn’t like it that much?

The problem with all of these visual (vs text) browsers on our little QVGA screens is the lack of a single column mode. For reading text, it’s just too much resizing and sideways scrolling.

thanks a lot!

I am on a TMO 5.99 data plan and the app might need to have a full data plan in order to run. Anyway, I will try to get on wifi when I get home.

Thanks BGR! I successfully downloaded it to my t-mobile dash. However, right now skyfire says that it is having issues with new accounts and logins, so at the opening screen on my phone when I am supposed to login, it tells me that I have “incorrect login information”. *sigh* I hope they fix it soon.

Downloading now! Thanks guys! I had already signed up for the beta and it let me put in my information again. With the code I was allowed to download right away.

I’ve have Skyfire since the first beta comes out, and I love it.

It does chew through my battery really quickly though, and it makes me Q get all toasty. I feel like a faster phone would make the experience a bit better.

Flash is awesome, though.

Has anybody that just registered been able to authenticate skyfire?
