Bolt 2.1 Browser with some flash support
 

I just tried out the latest browser from Bitstream.(Bolt 2.1). The browser is actualy pretty fast! Try it out.
I have attached the Java cab also below.

Thanks man. The layout is pretty much the same. I really like the jbed cab provided by the op! Thanks for that. Biggest thing for me is it's finally saving passwords. I always liked the rendering of Bolt. looks very clean. Latest Bolt is pretty fast as before. Downloads seems a little goofy though. Not really working for me but I tried saving to storage so maybe to device will work better. Actually downloads dont work at all. Trying another jbed now. There are also a good bit of security screens as well. Overall very nice for sites like ppcg and fast browsing.

Honestly Im still using mini 4.2 final a good bit since mini beta5 for windowsmobile still doesnt work that well for me personally. Also, om5 beta seems really slow downloading files. Also, the other browser posted today uzard is not working for me. looks like mach5 changed names because the layout is identical.

If you go to start/settings/system, and open the Java app. Go to menu/actions/security an change the settings you can stop the security popups.

Thanks for this. Any luck on downloads from your end?

Re: Bolt 2.1 Browser with some flash support
 

Yes, on mine when I click on a download, I choose "save to" then choose E: (Storage card). Then it will show your storage card folders. Kinda flaky though.

cant get any worse imo, hate this pos

Re: Bolt 2.1 Browser with some flash support
 

so tell us want you really think LOL! Certainly not ideal but I like dem old school Java browsers.

Re: Bolt 2.1 Browser with some flash support
 

ill give ya that but....
thanx for posting though op, sorry if i pissed on this thread.

Re: Bolt 2.1 Browser with some flash support
 

For straight browsing, It's improved but downloading is really really slow. UCWeb layout is horrible but downloading is great. Opera mini/mobile still rules the roost overall as far as I'm concerned.

Re: Bolt 2.1 Browser with some flash support
 

dl them all at same time maybe? lol

Re: Bolt 2.1 Browser with some flash support
 

Hey, I hear ya. I think its pretty fast. Im still waiting for a REAL browser to emerge. Every browser to date is stiil missing functionality in one way or another, and its frustrating! The holdup is mainly the hardware specs of devices. Hopefully with the increasing hardware specs, data network upgrades, and flash 10.1 , hopefully we will see browser that we will all be finally satisfied with!

Re: Bolt 2.1 Browser with some flash support
 

evo will push all that soon

Re: Bolt 2.1 Browser with some flash support
 

Im hoping someone can help me. whenever I Install bolt, all is well with the initial launch. But after I close it and try to reopen the browser, I get an error, and it wont load. I have to manually update it within the java app which kinda works. Well most everything works but I totally lose all ability to play videos like I could during the initial launch of bolt. weird and frusterating :(
