Don't let the blurry picture fool ya. SkyFire is shaping up to be a very nice browser for BlackBerry devices. Recently the Alpha 2 build was delivered to beta (Alpha?) testers and with the list of bugs that are being sorted out SkyFire is once again showing that they are indeed dedicated to bringing an awesome browsing experience to BlackBerry smartphones. As with all Alphas though, in fixing some bugs they have indeed broken a few other things but such is the way with building an app like this. Hopefully (sometime soon!) we will see a public beta considering how much effort is being put into the early-stage Alpha.

I am SO READY for this Browser...! I had it on my MotoQ9c and feel in LOVE with it....Bring on SKYFIRE!!!!

hahaa ME TOO! only mine wasnt 9c, just reg motoQ.. cant wait to use it on a phone that's so much faster (storm).

But, please don't rush it, either. Take your time, due your due diligence Alpha testing and re-testing, and bring us a product that we can use immediately after OTA download with minimal bugs, quirks and workarounds.
Thanks!!

This would surely make up for the news that verizon won't release a new os for the storm. Too bad skyfire isn't in testing for the storm yet. It is better than any browser out there.

Is that in browser video I see? That would be amazing!

Even it is in testing, This skyfire is very suitable for Blackberry.

Can't wait to use it, can we get a sneak peak of it on a BB now? BGR needs to make a youtube video of it....

I can't wait for this browser. It will add so much to what you are able to do! Hulu here I come! I would honestly pay $50 for an this once it was bug free, best part is it should be free for us!

should kick ass
BBTelus8330 May 12, 2009 at 11:24 pm
Come on.... we need one :(

Well I'm using Bolt at the moment, it's gonna need to beat that...
wcmarchese May 13, 2009 at 6:54 am
Hope it comes soon. Been checking every day.
One thing I hear is a lot of people beating up Bolt. There is nothing wrong with it--people forget its still a beta itself. Anything can happen with that browser, as well.
Skyfire will be great, but no one knows its footprint as of yet.
I think Bolt is a nifty little browser, whereas I can do things and enter sites I couldn't with Opera Mini. For example: Sprint's website. And mobile banking sites.
But to keep on subject, I can't WAIT for Skyfire!!!

Biggest thing that my BB is missing is good flash support. Already excited for something other than Opera to try for a browser.
renegade37918 May 13, 2009 at 7:19 pm

I've been playing with this on a WinMo device. It's SWEET! Supports BOTH Flash and Silverlight even! If the Blackberry version is anywhere close, it's going up there with Pandora for my must-have apps
