At last! The Skyfire browser is available for S60 3rd Edition phones (Nokia N95, N82, E71, etc). I’ve been eagerly awaiting this since it was first announced, what a year ago? It’s a closed beta, so head on over to skyfire.comand sign up if you haven’t already.
If you were accepted for the Windows Mobile Beta, as I was although I never installed as I don’t have a WinMo phone, it looks like you are automatically in the Symbian one too!
I’ve installed Skyfire on my N95-3 and I can say it’s well worth checking out, fast, stable with perfect rendering of complex sites including ones that S60WebKit and Opera Mini have issues with.
Thnk u Dennis for giving Skyfire details.
Can someone give me an idea whether or not I should go for a smart phone or just use a more stylish phone and wait for some better technology? I am on the Sprint network, and was referred to http://www.sanyowireless.com , but I’m not seeing any options that look like smart phones. I don’t need an MP3 player or a camera, I’d rather have a phone that is lighter and easier to carry. Any recommendations would be welcome
anyone could share a skyfire account with me?
been wanting to try this, but did not get the beta
anyone could share an account? please kindly email to [email protected]

Skyfire is a proxy based browser similar to Opera Mini except that the client is a native (Symbian or Windows Mobile) application rather than Java. The proxy server is based on the Firefox core.
It is a full-web browser with very good support for JavaScript and Flash. Not a lot of features yet besides the basic browser; no tabs, fit to width or page saving. You can read more about it and watch a demo video at http://www.skyfire.com
