Samrc Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 For about 2 years I have had a cell phone with Windows on it. A couple months ago I ran the ROM update to bring it to Windows Mobile 6. It works fine. Better than 5! But all the time I have had only the internet explorer on the phone. Recently used safari on an ipod touch and thought that was quite nice so went to a forum to see what is compatible with my phone. Today I found and loaded a different browser on my cell phone and it is a wonderful world! I can see a web page like a web page instead of a jumble of columns. skyfire.com offers a browser that supports flash, javascript, videos, you name it. For the first time, my mobile device allows me to read AND post on forums! If you have the time, take a look at the demo on their site. It isn't just hype. It actually works like they say! Wish my old IE on the phone could present the web like this!!! I dread the day I have to upgrade my ROM again. I will lose this program and have to start over.

TCH-Bruce Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 That's the Firefox mobile beta. I've heard good things about it. Have you tried Opera Mini? It's been around for a while now and not beta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Thomas Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 To Samantha: Don´t they have installation file you can download to your computer and when needed you can install to your mobile from that file? To Bruce: Isn´t Mozilla/Firefox´s mobile version called Fennec at the moment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samrc Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Sorry to be so delayed in responding...been sick, offline for days. I hadn't used any other browser than the built-in IE. I have updated the ROM four times already and everything "extra" gets lost and I have to reinstall. A couple games have never been completed because I make great progress then have to go back to the beginning when I update ROM. I didn't like the idea of losing my favorites every time I update the phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
