Just a warning...

I have never posted my real phone number on any site for anything before and up to my registration for SkyFire I have never received any questionable telemarketing scam calls. As of today after applying for the beta program for SkyFire approximately 4 days ago I received a phone call from +44 country code. This message was advising me that "my Auto Insurance has lapsed and after numerous warnings...". I terminated the call but this is just a warning to all those interested in joining this beta program. I can say with 100% certainty that this call is a result of trying to join this beta program. I again have never posted my phone number anywhere on the internet not even to vendors. I do not call anywhere accept family and friends. This is a shame that this is the result of a possibly great application for our mobiles but be warned.

If in doubt of my claim please do not flame me as I have no intentions of defacing this application. I earnestly want to beta test it still but it would be a shame for it to be just vaporware that wrangles people into a scams.

EDIT: I should also note that my cellular number is on the Nat'l Do Not Call list, and I maybe get 2 sales calls per year. Those who do call are informed that the number is on the DNC list, please remove me, and I would press charges if they called again.

i signed up for the beta, no spam or texts.... and i'm not on the do not call list.. hmm....
[General Topics] Nojnaworb:
The Do Not Call Registry has worked very well for me. I signed up from the very beginning and calls interrupting my dinner have gone away. I almost never get calls anymore. One of the only things that "W" pushed that I like.

BTW, I have also signed up for the beta of this browser.

Opera mini: no copy and paste plus the annoying switching back and forth with the notepad for text input.

Opera Mobile: I hate the way it handles bookmarks plus it runs slowly & kind of choppy on my Tilt.

IE Mobile: -You get the picture. We definitely need something new!

Skyfire's website says they're going to start sending out SMS messages this week to people who signed up for the beta test. It's getting scary though, today's Thursday and I haven't heard about anyone receiving their invites yet.

There was one person in here who got an invite last week but not sure what happend to him. Even though the blog itself said this week I have read many news articles stating that it would be more like mid month.

could someone help me get the beta code. i have no idea what to put in. could someone please tell me step by step and do u guys think that they will release it sometime this month. ive seen the demo and its killing the iphone web browser. i dont care about the privacy issue. so again could someobe help with the beta code. everytime i put something in it says its invalid. any ideas for the private beta and the regular beta.
[General Topics] pdx77:
As of right now no one has a beta code, and if someone has one I doubt they'll give it out to someone else. If you do not have a beta code don't put anything in the box and click on continue which takes you to a form to sign up for the beta testing. But it sounds like they are going to be issuing (slowly) beta codes starting on Friday.

Because they proxy through their own servers, like Opera Mini does, I doubt it will work for you unless they authorize your individual device.

When you clickon the link in the text message to download it that's how you get authorized.

[General Topics] michalopoulosgk:
My first impression of using it with Kaiser are quite favorable, so far. It is fast, and it does give a complete page view. Opera mini does the same thing. In comparison, when I zoom on an Opera mini point on the page, Opera does format the article that is covered by the title I zoomed on, so that I can see the article within the frame of my screen. Skyfire unfortunately does not do that, it expands the whole text and it often falls outside of the frame of the Kaiser screen. There are only two Zoom levels available (in, out). A more gradual approach would have been better. On the other hand, Youtube and other sites containing video contents play "naturally" on Skyfire. Youtube plays on the initial Youtube small screen, just like on a PC. On zooming, most of the times the video is bigger than the Kaiser screen and I could not fiind a way to limit it to the size of the PPC screen.

Overall, for a beta, this is very good.
[General Topics] davidbessler:
I do like the fact that opera mini reformats the viewed section. I also noticed that opera mini snaps to columns. so when you scroll horizontally it will stop when a column of text is aligned with the left edge of the screen. I think I would give up those features for the "natural" inline rendering of embedded content that skyfire offers.

Have you tried "smart fit" in Skyfire? When you use smart fit, it reformats the text to the screen size, just like operan mini. The only annoying thing is you have to select it each time you start skyfire.

Did anybody get it working?

I just searched thru some forums about this SW, and 90% of the ppl are "waiting" for the beta code, but no one is talking about its functions and etc.

Is there any other solution for a IE, except the Opera, or the already installed IE, or the SkyFire web browser, that has smiliar functions as SkyFire?
[General Topics] ryncppr:
So I am using Skyfire right now and have a few gripes about it....first of all if you want to go to say xda-developers and download a program...it is not going to happen. Since the service is through their server it won't let you download any apps.

Secondly, if you go to a website that has drop down menus on it....it won't do that either????

Its not a bad program, but honestly, Opera 9.3 is much better if it only didn't take up 9mb of space and was uninstallable!!!!

I got it last week. It's not too shabby, although the famous full-on flash video support is rather choppy, even over 3G. What's more, you cannot log in to any site that has a pop-up password box (like Outlook Web Access, for instance). You can't download pictures or have multiple tabs open at once, either.

It is a nice browser, but NetFront 3.5 is still my favorite. I use vTap to watch online videos and NetFront 3.5 for my browsing. I've gotten so hooked on using multiple tabs and saving full resolution pictures that it's hard to give that up.

If they could just combine the two...

Skyfire as Default Browser

This is by far the best browser for me with AT&T edge. It loads faster than opera 9.5 Not as fast ast Opera mini but its just less hassle to use Skyfire rather than launching java then mini and all that jazz.

[General Topics] burgertime:
It's definitely fast but I need something that allows streaming windows media files. Something which neither Netfront (at least not that I have found) or Skyfire does. It lives up to the hype in speed and Flash interactivity. If it could do some more things especially get around proxy servers it would be perfect for me.
[General Topics] tmknight:
You have to setup the file association in NetFront to allow streaming to mediaplayer. All done through the NetFront settings interface. I gave up on the browser so can't be more specific, just take a minute to look through the settings and you'll see it.
[General Topics] burgertime:
I've done this, on a website I use you must have an account for it. Netfront however will not allow me stream. I haven't tried it on another site, I even reinstalled Netfront thinking it was a install issue. Basically, when I click on a stream link Netfront just opens a new page and nothing happens. It did work once when I was not logged in but I don't see why this makes any difference? It's a shame to because that is the best browser to use on that site.
[General Topics] tmknight:
Ah you raise a good point about WHAT is streaming. I must admit that I only tried XM radio (which does required authentication), so there may be caveats with other services which do not immediately come to mind.
