Hey Improve, thank you very much for that info. I have a second mogul with no cell number on it, but data still works. With your instructions and code, i was able to sign up with my daughters cell number (she has a sanyo 8300, no good for skyfire) and download it on my backup mogul.

Sweet skyfire on my free data plan. Thank you again. dschoenike

Your welcome. skyfire is a great product. It ould have been a shame for people who are getting beta 2 not to be able to take advantage of this.

I was able to download and try SkyFire, thanks to the beta code thread. I am an opera mini user. Just putting down my views on comparison between these 2 good browsers:

The good:
- SkyFire installation/usage is much simpler than Opera mini. For running opera mini you need to install JBED, mortscript, badbob's script. Skyfire is one simple product. No mortscript crap.

- Opera mini launch is slower since it relies on JBED launch and the mortscript in case you invoked it from another application. Skyfire is quicker and easier to launch.

- Skyfire supports flash. opera mini doesnt

- Skyfire has been benchmarked to be faster than opera mini

- Skyfire supports full java/ajax support. Opera mini is not very robust in JS support

The Bad:
- Skyfire consumes 9-10 MB , opera mini ~4mb

- The skyfire smart fit is not as smart as opera mini

- Skyfire scrolling is clumsy and grained as compared to opera mini.

- opera mini zooming is smoother than skyfire

- I liked the font/size/appearance of opera mini better.

Overall Opera mini still remains my favorite browser. All that is needed for it to be best is flash, ajax/js and good system integration and transparency of java layer.

Thanks for your understanding.

Hey, anyone in here know how to set skyfire as the default browser for the device, i tried using the advanced config tool i found on a thread but it didn't work.
Ideas?

Is there a way to get skyfire if I don't have a data plan. Right now I only use WIFI and I love opera mini, but when i sign up for Skyfire they send an SMS, but since i can't get SMS I'm stuck. Yeigo has the same SMS verification system, but i was able to contact Yeigo support and they verified and activate me. Skyfire doesn't have any support contact info that i can find.
