Since the end of January we’ve been psyched up about the BOLT browser for BlackBerry. It promised a more desktop-like browsing experience, and through a few builds it has begun to deliver. While it’s not my go-to browser, there are many instances where I use BOLT to navigate sites which don’t render well on the default browser. Now they’ve got some competition. We heard about SkyFire a bit last month, specifically how it promised to be an even better browsing experience. After the jump, a bit more information about SkyFire.
That’s a screenshot from SkyFire. Kevin from CrackBerry, where I found the screenshot, apologizes for it being blurry, but that’s understandable. I mean, it’s freaking at least twice the size of my Curve screen, so of course it’s going to look off a bit (click the image for the full size). This allows us to see some detail, and the detail looks good.
Once a public beta becomes available we’ll certainly update with more information. Like BOLT, I’m interested to check this out. For most functions the BlackBerry browser does its job, but for more advanced Web browsing, I need something like BOLT or SkyFire on my phone.
