ragdesign.com Hi,

Any idea when it'll be available for the 5800?

Thanks,

Htscreativ.com Sure 'nuff, still doesn't work with the E90 main screen. Multiple issues.

widehead Frankly, if one cannot read the text then the application is useless.

It lasted less than 30 mins on my phone.

E-RPMSOFT.COM this is very good news, I have long waited for his

PaulyLaw Unfortunately Skyfire doesn't seem to perform particularly well on my E75. Rendering is slow for most pages, or just displays transparent background. Also really doesn't like text input boxes, just won't work at all for those.

It's less a "click fear" solution, more a "can't click at all" problem. The concept is great though so I hope they keep plugging away at it as I look forward to seeing if future releases work better.

Sucks on E90

It doesn't work on the E90 inner screen so I'll keep on using Opera Mini.

buster Well, so far, I'm totally disappointed. It refuses to connect (connecting, authenticating, connecting, authenticating...) until it gives up. This either vai GPRS or my home WiFi, both of which works for all other applications.

Either I've misunderstood something, or this is a very unreliable piece of software....

TheUndertaker okay i dunno if you guys really gave this a shot, but this thing actually plays youtube and also cnbc tv18 stream which is an rstp i think, but man does it do it fast, and that too tested on my dad's e61, he's gonna be soo happy!

Unregistered Hello guys! Can anybody please tell me what is exactly the proxy server address that Skyfire connects into?

UKJeeper Sure 'nuff, still doesn't work with the E90 main screen. Multiple issues. Works quite nicely with the external screen, but sooo small.

Albie999 Is there anyway of making Skyfire the default browser on N95 8Gb, so that either when I click a link in an email, or a press and hold the 0 for shortcut to browser, skyfire loads rather than the inbuilt browser

malerocks Not recommended if you have one of the older Nseries devices with limited RAM. Hangs the system a lot and loads of memory full errors. Surprising since the site says that it has been tested on devices like the n73.

Micky! Had quite a play with Skyfire 1.0 yesterday, and although I too had initial issues with the server, and slow start up, once it was up, and running, it was a joy to use, loading pages very quickly, and playing videos straight from the browser, and letting you zoom right into the videos also. Very impressed.

Many screenshots I took lastnight while multitasking with Gravity can be found here..

I like very much Skyfire but...

Yes, I'm an ardent supporter of this excellent browser but the designers would really have to make in sort that HTTP Authentication (e.g. the native browser dialog that asks for username and password when going to certain sites) is supported !

I had to

uninstall the Beta .. it failed to do a straight update.

Second time around it went fine.
Most impressed with the speed, amazed that it happily plays NASA TV stream just like a PC.

Nice job hope it comes to 5th edition soon.
