Another good news when I was on vacation. Thanks Symbian-freak for letting me know about this. So finally, Skyfire, the fastest mobile browser is available for public everywhere around the world !!

I had to test this and the capabilities of this browser. It was the news I was waiting for long. When I first posted about Skyfire, it was only available for United States. Its nearly 9 months wait before I got my hands on the world’s fastest mobile browser.

A true amazing experience

I knew what I was going to expect from this browser. This browser has really lived upto the hype, which it created from the time of announcement till the time of getting available publically. However, using it on my Nokia N95 8gb edition, I knew what I was missing , a Touch Interface.

Here is where the power of touchscreen comes into picture. Browsing becomes so easy and so much with less pain, letting you exploit every feature availability of an Amazing browser like this. I think, it make me wait more for Nokia 5800.

Skyfire supports Ajax , flash , and support for sites like Youtube etc. The way the webpages are opened is just amazing. The speed can beat anything (as rendering is taken place at skyfire server), even while browsing on desktop things are not this fast. The website is rendered and is loaded at one time, hence making things really fast.

However, connecting initially using WI-fi did create a little problem. But the browsing experience which skyfire is able to provide, will make you forget all the minuses. But still, I will recommend a touchscreen phone to have a full experience of this browser.

I wont say that this version (v .85) is bug free, but it just provide you a glimpse of the future of mobile browsers.
