Skyfire: New Full Desktop Browser Coming To Nokia N82

Thanks to Phoneboy, I just read some news over at Howard Forums about a new mobile browser for Symbian S60 devices that brings you a true desktop browser experience. Skyfire will use the same idea as Opera Mini, in which it a backend proxy server to process the website to work on your Nokia phone. It will feature full flash support for websites such as Youtube and Espn.com. The latest Nokia N95 8gb firmware update already gives browser flash support, but people still run into out of memory errors, and the Nokia N82 doesn't even support this yet. Hopefully this new 3rd party browser can solve that problem. I think it's great that Nokia will have new competition with 3rd party web browsers, it will only push them to make the built-in one better. Best thing is this application will be FREE!








I actually found a video of Skyfire mobile browser being tested on a Windows Mobile device. See below...it looks absolutely amazing.


This application is slated to be released for S60 sometime this quarter. Click here for the original article at Phoneboy's blog.

Update: I just posted over at Symbian Addict about a new review for Skyfire by the website called Brighthand.com. They have a new demo video, check it out below:
