I got my skyfire beta last week and i still think its kinda slow and buggy in my opinion its not as smooth as i would like but, its nice, features are great but needs video drivers and also needs to be less laggy and faster and much smoother then i would be much happier.

[MarkAtHome]

I haven't gotten my invite yet (it's overdue!), but am anxious to look at it. Does anyone know whether its speed is due to use its own servers, a la Opera Mini? That should be a concern to anyone exchanging info such as log-ins, bank info, etc., no? I'm currently using Opera Mobile for that reason.

got my skyfire invite finally today.Very cool I am liking it...

[Andy65OU]

I got mine today too, and like it a lot so far.. I easily like it better than the Opera that's out right now...

[(K)rebel]

Finally! I got my beta, but it is a little slower then I was expecting and there are really no settings other then history and cookies. Its very cool it see in browser videos, but they play pretty choppy.

Im using both Opera 9 and Skyfire, I think I will keep it that way for a bit. Just my 2 cents.

slow???? you serious, why dont u test out running a full pc website thru pie, and then thru skyfire...and then tell me which one is kinda slow lol...and also remember its a beta which means test verions.

[(K)rebel]

I keep getting a "connection lost" message when I sign on. Is anyone else having this issue?

I was checking out Skyfire on Youtube and it looks pretty darn good. How long til they get past Beta testing? What's the next best one down from Skyfire if you had to make a choice?

I was using the Opera Browser before getting the Skyfire Beta, and it was working pretty well for me...

I was playing with the Skyfire Browser last night while waiting for my nephew's graduation to finish, and I couldn't believe how fast the speed of it was even though I wasn't in a wifi area... And it's obviously only going to get better in the future..

[AlvinJue]

Skyfire is good but i still prefer Opera. Skyfire feels a tad bit slower and the youtube is sort of slow for me. Or maybe its just my phone

I was going to say, I am not running REV A. So thats probably why it runs slow for me. Im gonna try to flash it tonight. Pray for me.

I got five bucks says you have opera installed.Mine did same thing.Copy paste link into internet explorer..the ppc's default browser.It should work then.

[rico002]

u kno u can just download it right....when u login on the left side it says download and then just like "to my PC"

i got opera mini installed ya. and i already did copy paste it into my ie. thats wat it did i had to copy paste since on the vito sms you cant click links =[

[rwcj63]

i had a hell of a time getting my download info after i got my initial invite. after 2 weeks of nothing (no text message telling me how to download), i emailed them 3 times and finally got a response that they had sent the text with no response, with a link to download it from pc and install.

that being said. to be brutally honest, the rendering sucks. it's much much slower than opera. also. i was surprised at the amount of sites that it won't go to. it's blocked in someway from going to speedtest websites.

you will find that while the things it can do are really cool, the drawbacks that the beta has will drive you crazy. at least they do me.

[spivey8]

man you guys are lucky, im still waiting for my link.

[meansixx]

yeah, im luvin the skyfire browser. was using opera till this came out. runs really fast.

[Dooper]

[iamdasht19]

[bigballsblack]

dud i jst got mine and i lov it to!!! so good i jst wish there was a mode for the vids cause there hard to see so small i wish whn u click on the vid it will go into landscape mode for the full screen tht would be sick!!

[PROBEX]

HAHa I finally scammed it from skyfire I only needed to get a US forwarding email account as they won't give it to canada so I tricked them... hehehe I got it and it works and "Daddy Like" )

hahaha congrats probeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!! enjoy the streaming youtube.... you wont use it as a everyday broser (opera for me) but it is nice for the built in flash!!!

[ladytya]

I just got the latest Skyfire beta; it's an awesome browser for my ppc 6800! Until I do get an upgrade, I'll stick w/ this one all the way! Iris is the only other browser I might fool w/ as a second choice though it still doesn't hold a candle to Skyfire.

[NINE'SICKS]

i dont mean to post off topic but sence were talking about browsers, what was the name of the program that lets u pic k a default i.e? to set opera as my default... i know its in here but forgot the name, sorry...
oh and congrats to PROBEX, better late then never man...

i saw a app just like that, i lets you choose your default browser, skyfire, opera mini, opera mobile etc. copy paste, and other features.... ill see if i can fetch it for ya

btw. LOVING SKYFIRE, but till more features are added in the next version like multi tabs, upload, download etc. im still keeping Opera Mobile

[NINE'SICKS]

whats the differnce btween opera mobile/opera mini and opera 9.5 ??

THANX!

[monkeyxiv]

opera mini is server sided to run faster but opera 9.5 is ran like other browsers off your phone for better rendering and more secure.
opera mini is java based

in short:
opera mini for quick look ups
opera 9.5 for secure browsing.

[Mike20PR]

i never liked opera mini... sure its really fast but its because its not a real browser, in laymans terms it takes a picture of the page and renders it to your device explaining the awesome speed and why there arent animations in page rendering, no flash eather, but its a awesome browser for fast browsing and conveniant browsing. Its java based and designed for crappy phones lol, there are no braggin rights if you have the same browser on your PPC than your buddy has in his Rumor LMAO

Opera mobile (Opera9.5... same thing unless you mean the desktop browser) is a real browser designed for a pda device, it has smoother scrolling, zooming and all the features you can find in a PC browser exept the latest flash support, but the downside is that its slow (in my opinion, that is the closest to a perfect browser available for ppc because of the ability to upload, download, multi tabbing, automatic text wrap, java script, favorites etc.) all it needs is to be faster and the latest flash for it to crush all browsers

but till then Skyfire is my favorite, fast fast fast and flash flash flash!!!!

[NINE'SICKS]

thanx, yeah i use mini to surf, and mobile to download.. and skyfire to show off !

[NINE'SICKS]
