Great update to the app. I have always hated the one-touch cliking for browsing. This is much improved and actually blows up the text to see before selecting links. Great job!

Fine, fine. I'll try it again.

I just downloaded it for my Pearl and the scrolling is much improved. If you didn't like Bolt before because it was too slow, give this beta another shot. Scrolling is so much smoother, it feels like Opera Mini.

Great updates. Just what I've been looking for

I hated the original version. I couldn't scroll effectively on it. It lagged.

cant get the menu screen to stay up (options) when i hit the menu button it the options flash up at me and then disappear....?????? weird but fast

The scrolling has improved a lot on my 8130. Still don't know if I'll keep it (opera works fine for me) but its a step in the right direction.

Scolling has improved to a better level. Just tested a youtube video and it is great. Better picture.

I might actually use it all the time now.

amazing update

Storm browser still faster and better in general, IMO.

Bricked my storm...again.

im downloading it i never used the original one ill give this one a shot

Its better, but every time I switch from portrait to landscape and vice versa, the entire page reloads. Pretty annoying.

I would like to see a side-by-side comparison of BB, Opera and Bolt that shows me which browser does what and which excels at what features.
I'm pretty much an amateur, and have been please with BB's standard browser.

But, I'm open to insightful information.

anyway to change the size of the font on the favorites page? running Bolt on my STORM

Be nice if it worked with a site that has IIS domain security. Submitted this bug to them a while back. It just keeps asking for username/password. This site requires domain\username and password style login. If I could get that, I'd be very happy!

Great, Great, Great update to this application. Makes my new 8900 so much more better.

I like this better than opera however you can tell it was built to be use with a track ball

Goes pretty fast but I agree with the above saying build to be used with a trackball.

I think this just became the best browser with v0.94

Trying it out now...

I will take another shot at Bolt. Beta 1 was very slow. I had it on .75 and it ran slower than BB browser. Saturday I moved to .113 and it runs faster. Maybe Beta 2 will be better.

I find Bolt frustratingly difficult to use on a Storm. It's dependence on a keyboard does not translate well to the storm virtual keyboard. I think they should put a disclaimer on the site 'THIS PROGRAM DOES NOT PLAY WITH A BB STORM' in big red letters.

The only thing I could find about the Storm on their web site: "Improved BlackBerry Storm home page tab clicking " is that all?????

I love it. Great update. Now the trackball and typing are actually responsive on my 8330. Before it would lag behind and was unbearable.

This browser just isn't made for a touch screen. The pointer/hand operation is just unmanageable. When they make a version for specifically for the Storm, Then I'll try it again.

OMG! What a BIG change. Scrolling page's on my 8800 is now verry smoother and faster than in previous version's. Now im love it Bolt Browser :D Good Job.

the first beta was absolutely horrendous!

load speeds were slow, the split-screen magnifier didnt help much (even when maxed), content-rich pages full of images were VERY laggy to scroll through and it was generally a pain to use (ESPECIALLY the stupid clicking/selecting).

lets hope this beta isn't all hype like its predecessor.

I did not like it on my storm

It is 100% better than the previous beta I tried. Much faster and takes up less resources IMO.
Great work boys!

i was wondering when the new update was coming. cant wait to try it

The scrolling issue made it to difficult to use on my curve.....I am lovin this new beta, images and streaming videos make it a lot better than Opera IMO! THX

The trackball only seems to be allowed to go left and right.... And it isn't going up or down???

hope it works well on a 8330, plan to give it a try

Like others have mentioned it's more frustrating then it's worth.
Either build a storm specific version or focus solely on trackball BB's, because the current storm version is sub par at best.

i usually use opera mini on my sprint curve. wasnt thrilled w/ bolt when i downloaded it and rarely used it over the past few months...opened it today and saw the update...now i say WOW! amazing what an upgrade can do! The scrolling and general slow browsing and navigation made the previous build pretty useless. now it scrolls smooth and opens pages much faster. ironically, crackberry.com takes forever to load, way slower than on opera, but overall much improved and i will definitely be using it more after today. i still dont like that there isnt a "stop" button when i hit a link by accident and it also takes way too long to go "back" to the previous page. i also cant get any videos to play, keeps opening my default browser, looks like its going to load then i get an error saying the format isnt supported. still thumbs up for a promising beta!

im very intrested in this APP but i dont know much about these browser apps does it replace the orginal browser because my bold is in for repair at the minute for software failure i dont want to get this program if its fear of destroying my bold i was quiet annoyed when i downloaded BerryAlerts Which caused my fone to break down.... so if anyone could PM me and let me know :D thanks

I just tried it, and trying to line up that pointer to click on a link is next to impossible. Also, tapping for magnification is nowhere near as easy to use as it is on the native Blackberry browser, nor can you tap to bring up the menu icons (as you can with the native browser). Also, if you can't import your favorites (which, apparently, you can't) it's too much of a hassle to re-enter then all manually). The native browser is actually pretty darn fast if you uncheck the Java box; for now, that's what I'm going back to.

I agree with everyone else. While I use the BB browser for some things, and Opera mini for others, using Bolt is frustrating. I didn't try beta 1, but this one was uninstalled after about 10 minutes fumbling around - couldn't even select a favorite I made. haha

We still need someone to build a browser from scratch specifically for the Storm's touchscreen. I do like their logo though. ;-)

Obviously, not designed for the Storm. Proabaly very good with a trackball though. If you have a Storm, don't waste your time downloading.

It looks better on the Storm, even the icon looks nicer instead of spread out and bloated as it once was. I'll give it a try.

And to think I deleted the other version just the other day.

The only two things that do bother me are lack of easy touch based zooming (if this exists please tell me how) and text entry which shows a full screen text area with keyboard (instead of just popping the keyboard up on top of the web page being displayed). I quite like the link tapping with the pop up; I find it easy and accurate. The speed is great, page rendering appears pretty good. Only other minor gripe is the font used, it doesn't look that nice in my opinion.

I uninstalled Opera Mini after one day. Even with its bugs, Bolt shows a lot of promise. This new update looks like it addresses some of the more annoying bugs, I'm upgrading right now..

We need Flash support!

Bolt is great. It's fast, and now pretty easy to use with the whole double-tapping the links update. It doesn't replace the bb browser because sometimes it is necessary to use the bb browser for things such as app downloads. But for 75-90% of the average browsing, it excels.

You have to give credit where credit is due. I was one of the ones who tried out their very first version of the beta. It sucked, quite frankly. The speed alone was not enough. But now they have done a lot of work to their browser. The double-tap feature helps so much. And most of the time, the page does not reload when switching from portrait to landscape. Scrolling's not too shabby now, either.

The thing is, its still in beta. But for a beta, it is awesome, convenient, and in general, KICK-ASS! But if you don't feel the same way, thats fine. I just feel like its getting more bashing than deserved.

i seriously love this browser. finally one that seems to hit the highs i've been looking for and missing all the lows.

why hasn't Blackberry made an effort to rock out a killer browser? Honestly, the one we have by default blows in comparison to this one.

Nice one

Works perfect on my 8900.

Absolutely amazing improvement over the old Beta. I already deleted Opera Mini.

Bravo! Much needed improvements!

This is still second fiddle to opera mini. Still slow, not user friendly, and did I mention slow!!

Is it worth putting it on the bb storm or keep the default???

Tell us Storm users how the hell you managed to get the pointer to move to the very edge of the screen into the check boxes on the Preferences Page. YOU DIDN'T because YOU CAN'T...

Tell us how you managed to move the pointer over a link with any precision at all?

Surprised? Really?

Give me a break...

End to end this is a great update. Great addition to the default browser and it blows Opera Mini out of the water.

Struggles with crackberry. I think opera is still better but bolt has a lot of potential down the road

The little pop-ups for selecting things are very helpful. It also seems faster and more stable now. Cool!

I had just deleted Bolt from my BB because i found it lacking even compared to the default BB browser, the loading time was longer and the scrolling wasn't exact enough. Guess i'll have to give this one a try

I have been a beta user since Bolt came out and LOVE the new update. It is so much faster!! It is also easier to navigate the links because when you touch the link once, it magnifies it and you can then touch again and be sure you're headed to the intended link. Page rendering is extremely fast and scrolling speed is increased as well. I am very happy with this update!! For those users that think you need to position the arrow cursor on the link to access it, as far as I know, that's not the case. You simply touch the link you want to access. Great update!!!

Just downloaded the new one and its much better than the old one. Now they just need make it work with the touch screen for when the 9900 comes out

I had Beta 1 and this version is actually very nice im impressed.

Gave it a go. Installed fine. Loading? yikes... way too long. I un-installed it after about 15 minutes. It would not work correctly with a few sites forums. And these are the pages I use most often on the BB. Plus the home page font was the size of a molecule. I'll stick with Opera and the default browser for now.

I don't like it at all... sorry folks, but having to open the menu every time i want to enter the website is a little too much. Loading the unscaled facebook page is is not fun either. I don't know... I'll try it for few more days and maybe I'll discover something good about it.

Anybody tried to see if it is compatable with sirius internet radio.

Had bolt b4 didn't use it as much but i downloaded this new one so lets try it out and see.

It's impossible to even click a link on a website, I can only get to the web page I enter then that's it. Not going to bother with any other releases, just going to wait for a Storm version of Opera Mini or Firefox Mobile

Tried it. It sucked. Deleted it.

As everyone said, waste of time, since this version is not for the storm and really sucks.
BB browser works ok, but I prefer opera for most browsing (which I grant has problems). Even the non-storm version of miniopera is far better then trying to use bolt.

Sorry but a no go for Storm on this version as well, it's def better than the last beta but it keeps getting stuck at 20% page loading and it's nigh on impossible to click on the tiny prefs boxes. Not having a zoom in/out option is a royal pain.
Opera isn't perfect, but it's close, and it's so much faster than the native BB Browser. I have OperaMini synced up with Opera on the desktop so my faves are always 2way synced and that is really a nice option to have so I keeep having to open Delicous or Foxmarks:-)

Not worth the download...Storm browser is better.

Just deleted Bolt for the 2nd time. When a Storm version is announced I'll try it again. Until then, the frustration of navigation on pages just isn't worth it.

When you push (hold or repeat) the back/escape button, it doesn't exit! How could they miss something so basic to the BlackBerry?

I have a Storm on verizon...and i cant seem to install anything that works. I went to their website, signed up, got the e mail, started with the one they said and kept getting a download error, got to the unsigned version and i could download it, but when i click on it i get an error and it wont even start...i submitted it to them and all i got back was an e mail saying thanks for submitting it...anyone here know what to do?

Holy crap this browser's fast!

I was very disappointed in this browser until this update - it may have just become my personal default browser

What ever advantage is to be had with this is initially outdone by the need for the menu button to navigate. I was unable to view a video on u-tube due to non-support. I just watched the same video yesterday. I took it right back off. It was sketchy and I felt like my screen was going to start smoking any second.

This browser is almost perfect. I have been using opera and haven't touched it since I downloaded Bolt
