Skyfire {Official END of 1.5}

**santod** · #1 (**permalink**) 11-13-2010, 07:08 PM

@ALL,
I have been with Skyfire since their inception, back in the middle of 2008.
Long time Alpha/Beta tester.

I have been having some discussions with those at Skyfire regarding the recent abandonment of WinMo.

I was asked to stop posting in their WinMo forums about "non Skyfire related subjects" or I would be banned.

Well a forum that is based on a product that no longer works, is gonna fill fast with questions about that, not the software itself.
See what I am getting at?

That is all that you will see in their forums right now.
Since they ditched us for iPhone, what do they expect?
If they don't wanna hear questions and complaints about it, maybe they should just close the damn forums.
What the hell else is there to talk about there?

Anyhow, I finally talked with one of the Media PR guys for them and he has confirmed that they will be making an announcment regarding all of this on Monday.
So I then returned to the forums to inform others of this word.

Well, no sooner then I hit submit, BOOM, banned!!!!

So I am here now to say, please go there and let them know your

with their recent actions toward their long time WinMo users.

My biggest gripe was that if they could start selling it to iDrone and Kneepad users, why we were we not given the option to purchase it as well, if we wanted to continue using it?

Ok, I could go on, but won't.
So, if you feel my frustration and care to let them know, please go to their forum and do so.

I can live without it for sure, it's more about principles at this point. (uzard web)
Ok, end of rant!!!!!!

***EDIT***
Just so you know, I am not overly bent about this, in fact I find it somewhat comical, although infuriating at the same time.

Alot of companies aren't supporting winmo anymore. Are you going to ban all those companies too? It doesn't make sense. Winmo is on its a way out. Either change to android or get the new wp7. I don't think not using skyfire is going to hurt them. Skyfire just doesn't want to support an os that even microsoft isn't supporting anymore. I don't blame them. I was on winmo for years and now I'm on android. I can't wait to try wp7 when it comes to sprint. But for now I love using skyfire on android.

Uhmm, I don't think you get it.
They did not say they aren't supporting WinMo anymore.
You can still download from their website the WinMo version and in the forums, the only words they were giving, is that we may see some temporary interruptions in service due to their rollout to iPhones.
When the truth is they stopped all Symbian and WinMo users from access to their servers. No option to buy to continue use, nothing.

They are not saying that they are or aren't supporting WinMo anymore.
There in lies the major problem.
Why continue allowing it to be downloaded or even have a forum, if the product is no more.

I am aware that WP7 will have flash and that I can use Uzard Web instead, which is actually now better then Skyfire anyway.
The moral of the story is why shit on those who brought you to where you are now, without yelling "look out below" first?

Mehh, nevermind.
Are you in control of your device, or does your device control you?

Anywho, enjoy your Droid.

Oh and I love the ad attached to your post.

The point you are missing here is that WE, WINMO users alpha and beta tested this freaking thing and made it what it is today. Then they just say O WELL sorry guys but we no longer support your os. They didnt even say they were doing it they just did it ang that my friend is just absolute BULLSH*T if you ask me!!

Boy the android threads must be dead for you to be over here!!!! Back to the bandwagon you go!!!!
