Try it out.

Iris Browser does support flash, I'll upload the files later when I'm on my computer or you can try searching.

Same here.
I tried Opera but its too much of a memory hog.

I like Skyfire but it seems to have problems loading some sites, it will sometimes act like it is loading a new link and sit where it was before. Handling of flash and other strange links is great, but you have to remember that it is not being handled in the phone, it is a proxy server. Overall if you need quick and reliable for non-flash PIE is still the best, opera seems buggy and handles some sites poorly. If you need multimedia, Skyfire is the way to go for now. You would think this would be a bigger market and someone would have this working great by now.

You are true, but not really, most browsers are and they are commmon except for sky fire. Skyfire is the best browser for ny PDA including Xv6800(Titan). Did you know you can re-route from internal memory to external memory. Meaning you can save all of your scripts to your MEMORY card. All o your coockies, saved pages etc.. that will drain your memory and will make it slow.. I did it and it works just great. I can watch any Streaming video from any website with awsome quality.....

Also all the browsers I mentioned in my earlier post, only OperaMini, Skyfire, and UCWEB use a proxy server, the others I mentioned all use a direct connection to the website you are browsing with them. Which means that those three are first taking your request and handling it for you on their 'proxy' servers, then passing on the info to the browser. Some people have issues with concern reguarding secure websites, but they claim to be safe.

Please share how you did this, that sounds ideal. I don't see any settings inside the Skyfire menu, is this a windows reg hack? Thanks!

Mine saves to my memory card because installed it on my memory card. However, my phones main memory is bairly being used and it wouldnt matter anyway. The problem with these phones is the program memory is so low. Skyfire uses almost 10m when you open it so when I turn my phone on and has only 21mb's to begine with that means opening skyfire is gonna use another 10mb's. If I started out with 46mb's and am now down to 11m's, well damn that snot much. Either way the Skyfire works flawless and I get no lag at all. Even when viewing video's like youtube or porn.

Anyway the real deal would be getting it to open up in the memory card so it hogs the memory from the card and not the program.
