Yeah, I kind of miss it, but not horrifically yet. Opera Mobile's fantastic enough that it's only non-YouTube flash video sites that I'm missing out on, and I can manage.

There's a way to use Skyfire on Touch Pro,
1st slide out the hardware keyboard, then start Skyfire, from then on, stay in landscape mode, and use the hardware keyboard to type, do not use the software keyboard.

skyfire loads... When you first install it shows up half screened, but after you first register/log in just close the app (maybe soft reset) and then from there on when you open it, you have to either open the app with your keyboard out or leave it in portrait mode. Once you try and switch view modes, it goes back to half screen. Also, because it's not optimized for vga the quality is qvga-like and noticeably worse than it should be...
Hope you get the crippled version working... it may not be like it was on our old phones, but it's better than not having it at all.

It still drains the chit out of my battery. I can live with opera and opera mini.

I had to change devices now that my TP is my primary device so I went to Skyfire and changed devices got the text message and downloaded the cab. I loaded version 0.8.0.7081 and everything seams to be working now. First I loaded Skyfire soft reset then opened the keyboard and started using Skyfire in landscape like everyone else has been everything worked fine. Then I closed the keyboard went to the start menu and launched Skyfire again in portrait it opened and everything is working fine. The only problem I am having is with the menu button being hard to activate. Can any one else confirm this? Here are a few screenie:

I've been using same version for days, and it wasn't working w/ portrait mode like many claimed

I just checked it thinking 'this guy must be high', but it does work in portrait mode for some reason now. May be it somewhat updates itself when it starts up?

Anyways, it does work in portrait for now.

is it true you can watch flash sites on opera (like skyfire) with flash lite 3.1? i heard you can, but it slows it down?? if so, where can i get it and will it have negative effects if i don't like it and uninstall... i'm trying to avoid hard resetting for a while..

edit: i have the stock sprint rom and opera v2316
