Bye Bye Skyfire – Hello Opera?


Skyfire, the best browser for Nokia E72,  isn’t longer support in most of the countries. The reason for that is the need for Skyfire development team to focous on the new Skyfire 2.0 version. This version  is not supported by Symbian and therefor not supported by Nokia E72.

If you have a lot of patient you can wait for the new Symbain version. It’s not on the first nor second priority list of the development team so I wouldn’t hold my breath for that.

Following list of supported countries after July 1st: United States, U.K., Canada, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Korea and Taiwan.

If your country isn’t listed above you might find Opera as the alternative browser to Skyfire. After playing with Opera 10 few minutes it looks like it’s even better then Skyfire. I’m planning on testing Opera 10 few more days and then write post about it.

    Yes, that’s a quite unfortunate development. I believe Opera is much easier to use for most everyday applications. I’ve been using Opera Mini for years, and with Nokia e72 I’ve opted for Opera Mobile 10. The only drawback I can see compared to Skyfire is poorer support of movie clips. Also, quite evidently lack of Skype, Twitter, etc. aggregation functionality. But it allows the user to synchronise bookmarks, notes, etc. with the desktop version, which I’ve been using since times immemorial.
