Whats the deal with Skyfire?
 
I heard all these amazing things about skyfire- that its super fast, that it plays all sorts of videos, etc.

I downloaded it on my imagio, and it just looks... crappy. All the text and images are blurry, it doesn't zoom out to a whole page, its not that fast, it doesnt bring up other parts of webpages any quicker than opera. Am I delusional?

What other browser would anyone recommend? The newest opera beta was crashing too often for me.

Skyfire doesn't run in native WVGA resolution right now so it's scaling up to fit the screen. Until they release a newer version that does, that is it's biggest downside.

Skyfire is great on my 6800, not so much on the 6975. Sooner or later, they will release a new version that will work with the native graphics.

Flash with no need to install anything, social networks, RSS, it is seriously nice.

(Images are low quality for forum speed) Look a lot better on my Imagio.

It does depend on the web pages. For some of the web pages I access,
It is the ONLY choice over Opera and IE.

Adobe is supposed to be coming out with Flash 10 for windows Mobile by the end of the year. I started using Skyfire for Flash support, now I just love it.
