Looking for good Mobile browser
 

I have a Cingular 8525 that I've unlocked. I upgraded it to WM6, but the IE browser is still so woefully inadequate for what I need.

I tried Opera Mobile, and it seemed really nice, except that I keep running out of memory. Are there any other options I can use, or ways I can change how Opera runs?

A few things....first I'll move this to the Software Forum. Second, you might be interested in Skyfire. There is a thread regarding it here in the Software Forum. Lastly, browse through the Software Forum as there are numerous threads and some good discussions on various browsers.

So sorry, I thought I had put it in the software forum!

I read about Skyfire, but last I had "heard" was that it wasn't out yet.

Re: Looking for good Mobile browser
 

It's still in beta but you might be interested in this thread that is discussing the latest version.

Re: Looking for good Mobile browser
 

I use the latest version of SkyFire and I love it, I run it on my HTC Touch Vogue. Runs stable and fast, just my .02

Re: Looking for good Mobile browser
 

issue I have with Skyfiire is I can't download anything with it. Anyone else able to? my fav is Operamini 4.1 with UCWEB 6 for PPC following. But then again I'm posting this with Netfront 3.5 concept version. Its able to download from Rapidshare!!! I think PIE is the ONLY other mobile browser than can download from Rapidshare.

Re: Looking for good Mobile browser
 

I can download to my phone from skyfire with the latest version (not the one that just came out yesterday the one before it) Opera mini is very good as well.

Re: Looking for good Mobile browser
 

Skyfire is the only browser I have been unable to download from. However downloading from Rapidshare is not possible from OperaMini.

Re: Looking for good Mobile browser
 

ucweb

Re: Looking for good Mobile browser
 

skyfire

Re: Looking for good Mobile browser
 

you can download from skyfire now?

edit: yes you can!! wow, skyfire is actually redeeming itself for me again. now all they need to do is make the slow checkerboard issue go away

Re: Looking for good Mobile browser
 

lol, didn't notice that one torx? I'm with ya on the slow checkerboard, Skyfire is makin leaps and bounds. I complained at first about the new zoom but i've since gotten used to it and its not so bad. Just hopin they bring the old back in the next release.

Re: Looking for good Mobile browser
 

until this morning it was skyfire or operamini; then i got my hands on uaweb and ive got say a little more work and uaweb will be the next big thing!! its already started a buzz!! in fact im posting this with now!!! great response and extremely user friendly!!!

Re: Looking for good Mobile browser
 

oh yeah....faster than operamin and skyfire put togetheri!!!!!

Re: Looking for good Mobile browser
 

How are you guys downloading with Skyfire? I had the previous version and just updated to the new one and still cannot download anything.

Re: Looking for good Mobile browser
 

You mean UCWEB... right?? :scratch:

I really like UCWEB... ALOT!!!! I only wish it could download from Rapidshare. Currently however my fav browser is Operamini 4.1 for browsing and Netshare 3.5 for downloading from Rapidshare :D

The Best Browsers
 

For those experienced wino users what are the best browsers out there and why? is it possible to put Safari on the touch pro? how is that?

Re: The Best Browsers
 

I believe Opera 9.5 is the best so far.. It lets me zoom in and view websites like a desktop.. Although Opera Mini and Skyfire are great too!

Safari I believe will not work on the Touch Pro since it is currently only able to work on a Mac OS...

Re: The Best Browsers
 

i like opera for speed, and skyfire for flash. i use both. skyfire link, http://get.skyfire.com/

Re: The Best Browsers
 

I use Opera for Sizzle... And Skyfire for Pop... lol..

Re: The Best Browsers
 

same here...but i noticed, opera will not load pages on like sprint.com for example..(it wont let u log into ur account), but Skyfire will let u, flawlessly but i have to agree, other then that, opera 9.5 gots da crown rite now:king: ........lmao-like on WOW, rockin da dual wield....


o yea, and go Devils!!!!...Jerzee'z in da building

Re: The Best Browsers
 

how are u all getting skyfire on your phone? i never get the text that the site says i should be getting to install it

Re: The Best Browsers
 

I downloaded it onto my computer then used Active Sync to send it to my phone..

Re: The Best Browsers
 

skyfire is no longer beta, its open now, use the link i provided. as for opera on sprint.com, i dont have that problem. i can log onto my acc.

Re: The Best Browsers
 

Open pie and go to http://get.skyfire.com

My Opera crashes daily. I think it is flashlite 3.1 I cant wait until the release flash 9 or whatever it is they are working on. 3.1 is buggy.

Re: The Best Browsers
 

love opera mini. posting from it now

Re: The Best Browsers
 

really?? i doesnt ask to save or open??? cuz when i hit open...404 error or sumthin like that...ne info onthis penguins fan wud b great...

Re: The Best Browsers
 

skyfire is the most complete browser for me, the only thing keeping me from deleting opera is that the downloads on skyfire fail all the time so i cant trust that browser to download my content unlike opera

Re: The Best Browsers
 

I agree, I use Opera mostly. Skyfire has always been crap with downloads. It doesn't crash near as much as my opera though.

Re: The Best Browsers
 

Show off.. lol.. I loved Opera Mini on my Titan... But now it just doesn't feel the same on the TP..

Re: The Best Browsers
 

I think i have it on my mobile give me a few to find tbe cab

nope. just older versions.

Re: The Best Browsers
 

ok..thanx bro

Re: The Best Browsers
 

Opera Mini.

Unless I'm totally missing something, I don't see how Opera Mobile is even in the conversation.

I just ran a quick test over a wifi connection, it took 3 seconds to load ppcgeeks.com on Opera Mini and 15 seconds to fully load on Opera Mobile.

Opera Mobile is just very slow to me. Am I totally wrong on the times or are you Opera Mobile users just accepting that that's how long things take?

On pages with lots of graphics, the difference is even greater.

Opera Mini renders pages for me very well. Tabs and flash aren't going to work, I can always open something else for times where that's needed, but 90% of the time, I'm checking some info out or reading a forum, etc.

You can kind of make Opera Mini the default, but using this here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=384271

Also, for those of you voting "Opera", you need to specify Mini or Mobile.

Keep in mind that both Opera Mini and Skyfire uses server side rendering so it is always going to be faster then Opera Mobile which does not.
A more fair comparision would to compare Opera Mobile with Netfront or PIE

Re: The Best Browsers
 

Why is it not a "fair" comparison?

If Mini and Skyfire renders pages properly, who cares what they do to make it faster?

Re: The Best Browsers
 

That is true... The fault against Mini is that it limits how much text you can input into a box... I believe it's 256 or something... Not fun if you are trying to post a reply on this site... You are right though... Mini is a great web browser...

Re: The Best Browsers
 

Interesting. I've never run into that issue (I probably haven't tried replying here, though I'm replying on my desktop now and the url isn't anywhere close to 256 chars), though I could see that being a minor problem if you frequently use a site where the URLs are set up that way.

Re: The Best Browsers
 

Sorry sir, lol, I can input 5524 characters with mini 4.1

Re: The Best Browsers
 

lol.. I guess I had a crap Opera Mini build.. lol.. When ever I tried to input text in the 'Quick Reply' box, it let me only input 256 or something close to it.. I also had issues with trying to download files.. I always had to open it to IEM and download it from there... Oh well.. What I prefer in Opera Mobile over Opera Mini is the Tab features... I agree Mini is way faster, but Mobile will never be that fast until it is server-side rendered..

Re: The Best Browsers
 

just testing lol I posted this from mini and my phone soft reset right after it was done. lol don't know why.
