Web Surfing On Phone

[Samrc]

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.

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.

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?

Silly me. You are right.

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.
