UCWEB and Opera Mini Old Versions

Posted on by

Skyfire has issued an update to the S60 version of their browser.  It’s V. 085.0.8084 and fixes an issue where the phone would prompt you to select an access point three times on start up and again when ever you wake the browser up from a nap.  The latest release only prompts once at start up and once when it comes out of sleep mode.
