I just wandered over to the site to look for the heck of it and check it out!

Awesome trying it now, Been running the 2325 build that was from the diamond I think which was pretty sweet as it got rid of that stupid out of memory error. Been running great on my titan thus far. Will try this one see if anything has been improved or changed.
Thanks for the update!
P.S. Mozilla should be coming out very shortly as well!!! Also very excited to see how well that one runs!!
update: Well after using the beta 2 update. I still get the nice out of memory error after browsing the Neverwinter Nights 2 forums with a second tab open as well as other news sites. Never encountered this error with the 2392 build. Oh well. Back to that build until they fix this stupid error.
Can anyone else give their opinion on the new Opera Mobile? I haven't tried it yet. I was curious if it was better than Opera Mini and/or Skyfire.
It still seems too bulky for this device...it's better than IE, but Opera Mini beats in by a long shot. Still no flash either.
I think Opera Mini is by far the best browser ever. Obviously has its limitations... But when it comes to speed, its unbeatable. I can happily surf 4chan and jj.am, as well as any other website.

Sure let me see what I can whip up! I'll edit this post and put in a link when I am done.
Here is the orignal link to the post. It was posted by one of our fellow ever helpful XDA users phouki. Credit goes to him for different cab builds and information!
Clicky click!
Oh okay. I have never used one of the many builds from the diamond. How stable is it?
Which build do you use for the Mogul? That might be just a little helpful to include

MUCH more stable on our devices than the official Beta builds.

Well I use it everyday to surf and read new sites / forums including this one and excluding the load times it takes for opera servers to convert and realign the formats it's quite solid. I also am a mogul user and this is the build I use incase anyone was curious if I was even a fellow mogul user.

skyfire released today and it aint to bad, just thought id put it out there
oh good...maybe ill finally get a chance to use it!
samer version as before?? .6 something??
No, it was released almost two weeks ago.
I am on the Beta 2 list (confirmed on the website just now), but didn't get any notification about the download. Any suggestions on how to get it?
Any other sprint users having problems with flash on this. videos and other flash items are VERY jerky. Practically no motion. I even reset the phone with similar results. would the custom rom here work better?
Skyfire Release
Just got the invite yesterday after 6 months of waiting.
i signed up for the beta 2 test back in April...im hoping i get my invite soon.
by any chance, do u guys know what the difference is between Opera and this software? after looking at the video on youtube and playing with Opera on my 6800, im not sure y there's so much hype...aside from Skyfire is 100% server based so information is trasfered faster at the cost of security (info u type may be saved in their servers)...let me know guys.
operamini is server-based also and is faster than skyfire

I disagree with this, I think skyfire is faster.
It is much more stable and can play flash 10 !
get.skyfire.com point that on on opera/IE or w/e
It seems it does not work with the T-mobile proxy plan for those who are wondering. I just tried it . It does seem to start up faster with my Herald.
Can someone tell me the SHA or MD5 hash for this file? It only seem to be getting the same file I got several days ago.
Cool thanks for the heads up, installed and ran good on my TP

Confirmed.
I just downloaded & installed. No reg required.
I still like Iris better for typical website rendering. Skyfire is a bit slow
would the installation of this version delete my currant favs?
Still no VGA rendering. Still sucks on VGA devices.

Skyfire itself uses a proxy, so its highly unlikely it will ever be compatible with another proxy.
Somekind of proxy... It's rendering sites on external server intead of device.
And the redering is slow for me. Uninstalled.
Works pretty fast and good for me. Thanks for pointing out the update.
It is finally getting close to the hype
I was excited when Skyfire was first released, but found that the simple things like text entry made it too much of a hassle to use compared to Iris. I see that now many of those shortcomings have been overcome. I'll still use Iris as my primary browser ( I love that most sites show me the "Iphone" version of their site ) but I'll be keeping Skyfire around this time at least for viewing flash sites. I was able to watch Hulu yesterday with Skyfire, and that was pretty cool. If thats all it was good for it would be a keeper.

+1. i dont need it to replace opera - just play video sites like hulu and thats good enough for me
does it still have problems with loading long pages and getting the bottom of them cut off?
Nice browser!
it is best browser i've seen - it requires some power, so do not be surprised with feeble htc units.
iris is ok, but no flash support, and its slower that it should at current state.
skyfire and opera mini - two things that good to have cooked into roms, imo.
416 mhz xscale is enough to handle skyfire.
loved skyfire the minute it came out, simply because of flash support and fast rendering of most sites.
I have installed the new "fennec-1.0a1.en-US.wince-arm" and using it on my hd
I find it slow but i like the interface i hope its all ironed out by the final release
please guys install it and give me your feedback
cheers

fennec alpha 2
is alpha 2 only for windows desktop or is it available for winmo?
guys some help here
i'm testing it right now...and i must say a really like it....it's only early version but if it deliver what is promissing it will be big against opera....
now few things....zooming the page...i'm lost as i cannot find a way to do it....any ideas??
If you check in the parent folder of Mozilla's FTP there are nightly builds available. The newest posted version at this moment is here on the 14th May. There are newer 'mobile' titled directories, but 14th May is the most recent to contain a WinCE build.
What is it exactly?? what does it do??

alpha 2 is for nokia
the alpha 2 was for nokia internet tablet i guess i was exited when i heard alpha 2 is released
I my opinion the interface is nice but not very finger freindly at the moment. closing of tabs is a pain with the fingers(you need a stylus)
every thing lags, zooming is horrible , addons are great but don't know how much it will bloat (wonder if hd can handle this bloat)
zooming is the main problem here

any ideea how this can be used?
Like it. It's slow and the GUI takes getting used to - zipping to left to obtain the navigation bar is... well strange. The graphics are well judged, and Images seem brighter? Java applets run nicely without sticking.
One drawback is that it won't flip to landscape, or is that just me?
Something to look forward to.

great new browser could see it doin well as firefox and yep it is quite slow!
buh very fast browsing and acces to bookmarks and good feature of left side tabbing!! looking foward to next stage!

Do you know the difference between Desktop and Mobile, and look at the date. What a wasted thread.
I think that's for the desktop verson, Opera Mobile 9.7 comes out tomorrow.

Yup, that's the desktop version (which is old since Opera 10 desktop beta is now out).
Interesting thing is Opera.com is down right now (including their FTP and IRC servers).
Yeah, I was trying to get to the site, but it was all down. I pinged them, and their response times for a single packet are very large compared to most sites. Glad I'm not the only one experiencing this.

ya the site was download so slow and i want it! lol

Doubtful, keep in mind that Opera is located in Norway, so if anything they aren't going to be releasing a product at 6 or 7am there time, Opera typically releases products around 8 or 9am eastern time.

Just a question, not that it matters much. The default clock on the home screen is a certain size (small), but if you add a new one via widgets menu, it's a huge clock. Is it suppose to be like that, or is this just a minot detail to be worked out later?
It seems I am an idiot. I can't figure out what Extended Drawer is actually doing.. :\

I'm always up for testing new versions, though it might be less stressful to hold off and release a fixed version (as much as I hate waiting).
If you do decide to release a version that doesn't have everything working, you might want to note that in the file name.
Example: mssmison_rogers_system_(MARKET_NOT_WORKING).img
That way there is no excuse for ridiculous whining and complaining.
I'm quite happy you came back mssmison. I'm also glad that you noted you were taking off some tonight so I didn't sit up all night anxiously awaiting the new great release.
Would it be a simple deal of switching the system files to download an app from market and then switch back, or is it more than just the system file and would you have to delete widgets to go back and forth? If I just had to change out system files to get a market app no problem, or find the .apk to download and install it.
Does that mean flash and the differen't profiles to choose for your screens and perspectives? Maybe a list of what it does have working would be easier, or just figure it out ourselves when it's released. I'm quite excited
Thanks for all your work
First I'd like to thank you for all your hard work and dedication. I haved used many build's before yours and all are good to their own part. I am having trouble with Android the last couple of days, I cannot receive calls but am able to call out. Any Idea what may be the problem. I was using vilords build and had this same problem, tried yours to see if it could be fixed. Thank you again and good luck with your future builds, I will be looking forward to testing them.
hey just wanted to give a heads up not sure if anyone else is experiencing this but the calendar will not load for me everytime i try to load it the app crashes.

Unfortunatly no, the rogers builds only work with data.img that are created by them. The builds are quite different.

i'd like to test the hero if you need. i've wanted to see the sense ui for a long time. i keep checking to see if you posted it yet. i'm excited. can you install programs from the .apk's?
Umm, im using your new build and just for fun, i tried marketplace...it seems to work for me, I downloaded shopsavvy and successfully installed it.
I however, used my old data file.
Maybe I'm lucky
