I once used Skyfire as my mobile web browser when  I used to have a Nokia phone. It’s my favorite web browser aside from Opera Mini. I just love its sleek UI and how fast it loads mobile websites. Plus, Skyfire handles Flash and Javascript pages as well as streaming videos pretty well. But that was long before the iPhone and Nexus One.
Anyway, if you’re using a supported Nokia phone or a Windows Mobile smartphone and Skyfire is your mobile web browser, you’d be glad to know that Skyfire 1.5 has just been released.
Skyfire 1.5 support non-touch and touch-enabled phones such as those Nokia handsets with S60 OS in both 3rd or 5th version, or non-touch or touch-enabled Nokia handsets running the S60 OS.
Key Features of the Skyfire 1.5 include:
- more fluid kinetic scrolling on touch-enabled handsets
- better user interface including full screen mode and finger-friendly buttons for S60 mobile phones
- more robust and faster browsing
- auto-rotate for the touch-enabled S60 phones
To download Skyfire 1.5, you have three options – point your phone’s browser to m.skyfire.com, send a download link to your phone by providing your mobile phone number or install the browser on your PC before transferring it your touch or non-touch enabled mobile phones.
