Oooo. Daddy likes. Used palm,mw, and now bb. I’m liking it, but miss skyfire. Used it on MW 6.1. Worked great. Almost scary how flawless. Ill be very excited when I can use it on my BB.

@Chad

No, it won’t support Flash. No BlackBerry device is capable of that. RIM’s rudimentary OS and refusal to release anything based on technology developed in the last 10 years has seen to that.

Java is slow, outdated and antediluvian, in terms of software development platforms. Not to mention lacking the horsepower and sophistication needed to support Flash.

@Chris, re: BlackBerry browser.

The current BB browser is nothing more than a glorified WAP browser and would have been cool in, say, 1999. But by today’s standards, it’s outdated crap.

Oh, and Skyfire is a nice browser. It renders most anything, on towers or wifi. Although can struggle in low reception areas.

Honestly I use Bolt when on wifi, opera on towers, and Blackberry Browser for certain things in between. More or less. Some sites just render terrible no matter what.

And on the E75 I use Opera. For everything. And its a much better at rendering and working on 3g or wifi. Or edge for that matter.

Opera Mini is all I need for web browsing, but I will give skyfire a shot

fu fu fu fuck the BB browswer.

I can’t believe some low ass are even saying that the native browser is usable for anything more than wap site.

Can’t wait for Skyfire. Seems to me that every app on the storm is better than the BB OS itself.

Oh and I’m running .151 on my sucky Storm 1.

So you’re saying our pres is retarded, a baby, and gay. And Boy Genius who has a Bold is also all those things. Funny stuff. Don’t quit your day job. Oh, what’s that? You don’t have a job.

Can’t wait but for now using the bolt which is also awesome.

No. The BlackBerry browser is not a matter of preference. It’s horrible, utterly disastrous. Ghastly.

Opera Mini never gets “hung up” but it’s clunky and has no option to email a website to other.

Bolt is not ready for primetime with its tiny, tiny script.

How do we get this beta? I really want it.

I have been a tester for every version of skyfire to date… Skyfire has every form of media embedded directly into the browser, so not only will it support flash, play from hulu, to cbs video, but it also supports live chat formats directly thru aim, facebook, and more… Skyfire, and the speed of the Bold, and the new Sprint Tour which is rumored to be much faster than the bold, it will be more than amazing…. Finally I can toss my windows mobile into the trash where it belongs…..

its all preference, except for security not being good, 4.7 is better with a bb browser but still not good. bolt and operamini are not bad, and as far as battery pull problems, if you run your OS right, not have a million unused apps, a battery pull should only be needed maybe 2 times a week for a heavy user, with current software

Unfortunately so is ATT reception StevenGlansburg… I would love the iPhone’s browser that much more.
