Skyfire doesn't seem to like VGA displays. You'll have to wait for the next release before it works for the Diamond or Pro. I can't wait!! I hate Opera.

Re: Skyfire goes to Open Beta!!!!

Skyfire sucks! I am also in canada and have been waiting for a long tim for it to be released to us and i gotta say im sadly disappointed. Sure the flash works, but is it worth it for the super slow rendering of images everytime your scrool the screen, or the annoying zoom? Been using opera int he meantime and i have to say in my opinion it is 100x a better browser for everyday general use.

I really hop skyfire steps it up before they are finished calling it a "beta"

please tell me im not the only one who thinks this way...

Unfortunately, everywhere in the Skyfire forums they are saying that there is no current support for VGA displays...

Users have been able to install Skyfire on VGA devices, however, you might only get "half-screen" views, the browser may not scale properly to hi-res screen sizes.
Thank you.

Re: Skyfire goes to Open Beta!!!!

I gave up Skyfire on the first try. Once I tried several times trying to open up my website and failed and ditched it.

Unhappy Re: Skyfire Version 0.80 Beta

After signing up and installing Skyfire, I found that I only had a half screen displaying. A little search in their forum revealed that the Touch Diamond is not supported yet ... apparently no VGA screen phones are yet supported.

Has anyone been able to get Skyfire to run on the Diamond?

skyfire will work in landscape mode on VGA. but you have to sign in while your in the halfscreen thing. once your signed in, you can use skyfire as usual, just in landscape mode though :-\
