i had the same problem the first time i downloaded it. i then redownloaded the file and saved it on my computer, then copied the the entire file to my 6700. unzipped and it worked fine.

netfront is slow on 1x but then again, everything is slow on 1x...i'm hoping to test it over evdo soon, sucks i have to cross town to receive evdo!(come on sprint!)

When you d/l, hit "save as", and save it to your storage card. Then, use file explorer to locate and install. I'm liking it alot...just wish it had flash.

Loving this. Makes me want to surf the web with my PPC.
Not finding it slow at all, compared to PIE.

This is a great browser.

Between this and Opera Mini 4, I am a content man...

The rendering is fast and crisp and displays full animations, pictures, etc with no memory issues. The "page mapping" icon displayed in the top right corner to indicate location on a page is very handy. I would give it a 8.9/10!

i'm very underwhelmed with it... i always use espn.com as my benchmark site, and it took forever to load... that's all i needed to know right there. if it werent for the speed issues with pie sometimes i'd be content with it.

I tried it but not really all that impressed. I'll stick with Opera Mini and PIE for now till my account is set up for Skyfire.

wow. the rendering of images in this browser its absolutely GORGEOUS. And the panning response is PERFECT. And yes it is pretty darn fast. I mean cmon, using espn.com over Rev 0 connection? Does espn.com really load that fast in Opera Mini?

This browser is still a little quirky, I just tried to use a secure site (https://) and it repeatedly asked me if I wanted to continue because it didnt recognize the certificate. I'll try another secure site to see if maybe it was just that one.

But so far... A- is my grade for this one. The rendering alone is just unbelievably amazing. I mean the pictures literally look as good on my Touch as on my Sony Vaio laptop screen. And the zoom is great. Double tap and pan around a full shot of the page while the zoomed in version is still panned around in the background so you can get right where you want to without a mistake.

I can't wait to see how the full release turns out!

EDIT/UPDATE: Yep, seems it was just that one secure site that was giving me problems, so all this browser is missing is flash i take it? lol The challenge has been extended Skyfire. You better come out fighting
