Published by at

Third party web browser Skyfire has released their latest version for Symbian smartphones. Version 1.5 updates the user interface for a smoother experience both in the updated UI and in the rendering engine, as well as making its debut on 5th edition devices.

SkyfireWhile the Windows Mobile version was updated to 1.5 and launched in December, the Symbian version has been held over until now, but carries the main benefits that current Skyfire users are aware of, such as support for javascript, Flash 10, ajax scripting and allows you to watch online media directly in the browser.

Skyfire, like Opera, is a free browser, and you can download the latest version from get.skyfire.com in Web on your phone, or the update is available in the browser if you are an existing user.

To go along with this new release, Skyfire are running a competition to win a Nokia N97. Over the next month you’re invited to record an online video about why you love Skyfire and “the most funny, clever entrants will receive a new Nokia N97,” naturally with Skyfire pre-installed.
