Skyfire working on my Touch Pro

Does anyone here use skyfire beta as their browser, I downloaded it to my TP and for some reason, it only comes up on half of the screen! If u do use it, is this happening to you?

Skyfire doesn't have a VGA-compatible version yet I believe

I find it ironic that SKyfire first used images of the HTC Diamond as their poster child phone in their initial ads.

It's too bad SKyfire is not VGA capable. Skyfire + Opera combo makes for a perfect combination. Hopefully Fennec (Firefox Mobile) will have full flash support and then it will be the ONE mobile browser for me.

Yea, Skyfire only works in portrait mode on the Diamond. I have a friend who loaded it on so i expected to to get that at least. But to no avail its not at all useable. ill be keeping an eye out for a compatible version. Opera is alright and PIE w/Flash Bundle and TCPMP Recomp 03 is good but i REEEEALLY want to just use ONE browser. And for My Mogul that was Skyfire... i want my SKYFIRE BACK !!!

Edit: Some one had brought this to the attention of the SF developers:

yeah, the mods on the skyfire forum almost crap their pants if you mention anything about wanting it to work on a VGA device, then they close the thread and say were working on it. not giving anyone any more idea than that.

opera claims that the disabled active x is a known issue (with other), I wonder if that means that they one day plan on incorporating it.

I use skyfire on my Touch Pro... You just need to start skyfire with your keyboard slid out and dont close it while using skyfire or it'll go back to half the screen. Works pretty good for me!!
