Skyfire browser on Nokia 5800
zilspeed - 13/7/10 at 07:52 PM

Been playing with this browser on my Nokia 5800 for the last week or so.
Works really well and will zoom to frames within a page by touch.

I understand it works by loading the page to a proxy and that you actually view an image of the page, but you can still click links etc.
Whatever the case, it works much better than either the standard browser or Opera.

Try it here

Incidentally.
Joikuspot is also wonderfull.
This being type on my Compaq mini 110C via wifi to my 5800 which is my wireless access point.
Superb.
The phone is in another room.

I use it on my HTC mobile to watch tv (catchup/seesaw etc) via HSDPA

(Great when i'm waiting for the missus in the car while she's shopping )

My 5800 is really playing up at the moment. I just use the standard brouser but it seems to not find any pics since I just anked the memory card out. It can find them on file manager but not scroll. I go to top right and image view and it shows nothing.

If anybody has advice U2U me.

Sorry to Hijack (maybe ill start another post if it gets on my moobs!)

My 5800 has a habit of just hanging......still dont know why.....

The standard nokia browser is just pants with a huge bar down the right

I will try this new browser Zil

the other thing is when you press the on screen link it does ZILTCH......ideas.

think I need to get an upgraded os

As for the other lads phone not displaying pictures thats in the options settings on the browser you choose text pics pic size ect.

Mango update the Firmware

i'm on version 5 of the OS, its better but now it has a habit of getting rather warm and draining the battery quite quickly (hour or two). This happens once every 2 or 3 weeks.

My issue is i've taught it some words when texting and it ALWAYS uses this word, despite me using it once - eg GP instead of the far more common IS. Damned annoying and I can't find a way to delete the added word.
