Even if the cab was released, I'm pretty sure it checks your phone number anyway, considering the way the browser works is completely server side.
Here is your cab and all I did was use the search function... You should try it!!!! 10th tab from the left and 3rd from the right!

As mentioned above, you need to be registered for the beta and they are the ones that allow you to use it.
i'm near fed up with the skyfire beta.
i signed up January 28 (day ONE!) at about 3pm, and still have not receieved an invitation to the beta. They claim to be going first-come, first-serve, but if that's the case, a hell-of-a-lot of people signed up within hours of hearing about it.
They just sent me an update email, saying they'll try to get everyone in Beta 1 by the end of April.
Also, I see no reason to be fed up, considering they're providing you this service. They don't actually owe you anything, let's remember.

ummmm...... yea what he say
he really does have a point tho
Ive had the software for a little over 2 weeks now and unfortunetely im extremely unimpressed. The software is incredibly slow on my mogul. The only plus side I have to using this software is to watch you tube videos which Core Player already does in a much easier to usse interface. I'll get back to it once Beta 2 rolls around.
i also signed up on the first day and just got invited to use it a few days ago. i wouldn't worry too much, as mentioned before its really not that good. picture this... remote desktop on someone elses server, with sound, thats it. Its no opera mini, but its coming along slowly. Honestly its really not worth waiting for until version 1.0, and their on .5 still.
I got my invite about a week ago. And btw, i am from Finland. So they now allow non-us people too.
I love it. It's slow to browse but:
- Internet map-services work! A local one has sharper satellite pictures
- I can wach CNETTV.com! Picture isnt that good but audio comes always clear. (it also saves the zoom location on bookmarks. So i just click the bookmark and watch)
- Internet radio stations work! The ones that are flash. (like http://www.finetune.com/wii/ )
- I noticed that it also has atleast .wmv plugin installed on the server-side. So you can play direct-video links too.
I've had it for about 2 weeks, and I think it definitely will be the best browser when all the bugs are worked out. It can render basically any page on the internet perfectly. If you go to Youtube, for instance, it looks as if you went there in IE or Firefox on your regular computer. All of the flash stuff works. Google maps? Yes, you can use street view mode, and it's pretty snappy too.
It has two modes for touch input, which I will call cursor mode and hand mode (that's what the icons look like). This way, you can decide if you want to pan the entire webpage with hand mode or if you want to interact directly with a zoomed in flash applet with the cursor mode.
I signed up for the beta a few months back.

Over at this 31 page thread, you can gauge your sign up times with other users, and guess where you are on the list. Skyfire is just going in order of people who signed up, and it looks like they are still sending out invites to people who signed up on the first day still, jan 28th!
There is more info throughout

yes i have it and you cant get it ...j/k.....its a good browser but I have some reservations..one security....logging into sites that require passwds is not recommeneded with the browser as it is not secure....and the whole video thing is cool but its like logging into my pc using logmein and watching video...choppy....but I think the will improve on it...my 2 cents
my new iconset is out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378260

Why it's great:
1. Free!!!
2. Choose Fav Channels
3. Search feature
4. Setup an alert for any show you want a reminder on
5. Free!!!
Here is the link:

(Couldn't resist) This app works GREAT!!! I have had reminders comming in every night this week, I have only had it since earlier this week, so I can't say anything on the 'reminder for every episode' part, but the reminders do come in via texting reliably enough. The only 'bug' I have noticed at this point is that the texts come in doubled, so I think this will only affect people that pay for texting. I would suggest unlimited texting and data for this app.
OK, I'm downloading this and will see if I miss American idol.... Just kidding! My wife makes me watch it! Wait, I guess I watch it anyway. I'm a Sap!

Thanks for the icon, alway great to see your work!
Working Proximety sensor & Internal speaker without 3rd party application within Skype (sick of putting it on lock first so i dont hit anything
Camera button (stupid to try guess where the snapshot button is on your phone / if doing self portraits ! "girlfriend does alot)
Easier to change themes / find more easier
A webbrowser that is easy / good to use with flash with 0 problems (seems impossible ask)
A Torrent manager that doesnt cost an arm and leg (granted its good but cmon, who pays for it seriously....)
Ventrilo mobile actually worked (centrilo i believe "hasnt been updated for latest version)
A more spaced out keyboard (better way of changing which keyboard your using without having to tap a million times / reboot phone " too fiddely at moment in my opinion)
A better image editor, Yes i made a colour picture but i want to quickly make it black and white, why do i need to install 50,000 applications for something so simple.

swype is by far the best keyboard. Also i dont know what you are doing but it only takes two taps to change you keyboard. In any text entry screen you will see a little upwards pointing arrow at the bottom of the screen.... tap this to bring up all your input options.
Why on earth do you wanna torrent onto a phone?!?! Seems utterly pointless to me (as do Torrents in general)

is this paid???

Opera 10 doesnt work for sites such as narutoget.com
skyfire is just horrible
the keyboard issue, double tap works at first but not after browsing websites / coming back to skype
Will try swype

Take note, ive had this phone since november, so its not through lack of trying to get this phone how i want it...
The keyboard is a joke in skype, the up arrow doesnt even response (which is where i need to reboot for it to start working)
Video out and bluetooth mouse functionality.

+1 here.
Torrent on mobile is missed idea. Besides you can be sure, it will be against fair usage policy with your carrier (most carriers I believe).

USA T-Mobile has no restriction on torrent.
I'm using my HD2 as the Wi-Fi Router and posting this right now whilst downloading torrent files.
Of course, They still might warn me, or at the worst case, ban me at any time like my ISP at home did.
sorry, but i've never used wmtorrent so i didn't know.
i don't want to be illegal but we also have warez sites

Is that with adista torrent client? wmtorrent
The reason I wanna download torrents on my mobile, is because they simply download quicker for starters, at work I'm getting 500kbps on albums etc

Perhaps a little clarification is in order.
I'm using my HD2 as a wireless router, and downloading torrent files on my computer using t-mobile data service.
Opera 10 is nice, apart from no pinch to zoom (external program must be installed first)
& flash like i said earlier does not work If it did, It wouldnt say you are required to install new version, skyfire works well with www.narutoget.com but as a browser its terrible compared to opera10
2Where can I buy the tv out cable for G2? I saw the htc commercial where it shows the phone plug to an hd tv with an hdmi cable for the phone now I would like to know where to buy this, anyone know please let me know I would love to hook it up to my tv to watch movies on my tv
nope we don't have tv out. you could load it up as a usb storage then use it and we might be able to dlna not too sure
Yeah I'm pretty sure it does not have TV out... Unless its hidden deep in the hardware somewhere, like the Nexus One had the FM tuner that modders were eventually able to find, access, and use.

Well I saw the commercial and the phone had tv out there we just need the htc media link and I would like to know where to get it
Here is the commercial
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUeW6-HTtSU&feature=related
See we do have tv out
That video is pretty clear it's the Desire Z... not the "Tmobile G2"
But that's DNLA, not a cable too
How can we get "Locations"?
its the same phone. and the commercial does clearly state that if you tv isnt dnla compatable, its ok cuz you can use htc media link. it shows the phone with a wire plugged in.
i'm going to keep my eye on this. maybe its a sense thing?
Probably. The screen it shows where they select HDTV has got to be something on the ROM if they're advertising it out of the box. Hopefully in Cyanogen
coming soon

Can someone tell me the diff between dlna and tv out? sorry I'm a noob lol

I was going to post about this as well... my brotehr told me about an app called Boxxe last night and I do not ahve an HDMI out on my laptop as well... So this was really bothering me that nither my phone or laptop had one. Please keep this tread going... Also in that video there a quite a few features that i don't see with my g2... like taging people on FB? anyone else notice this?
The phone can tag people on facebook tho. Go to the desktop facebook and just like in a real browser click tag and tap where you want to tag people those are the wonders of flash on a mobile. What good is the web without flash lmao that was for apple right there. After I got use to flash on a phone... man I can't use nothing else, I had my friends iphone 4 and I notice how crappy are webpages without flash! Thank you android you are the BEST!

Am I a tard i still can't find how to tag... It only says upload to FB and other sites when i click share... Do I need to have signed up with HTCsense or something?
No ypu don't need sense all you need is to go to the website on desktop mode and find the tagging link than just tap the on the pic to tag is that simple. If the browser sends you to mobile version just download dolphin browser hd and go to settings scroll down till you find user agent and choose desktop
When I try and sign up for HTC Sense it says to go to the Setup app but i don't see anything about HTC Sense on there... geez I guess I am a tard.

Syncing contacts was a bit of a pain but it's done now .
Right guys what else should i be doing , what tips do i need from you ?
Awesome machine by the way
My tip is remember to link not just your Facebook account to your Windows Live ID. There are a whole host of different services that tie in.
That's one thing most people seem to forget.

On your Windows Live you can link facebook to hotmail to get facebook feed and contacts. But when you get them together and then add facebook on your phone again it can get messy
Its usually not a problem. If you go into setting and swipe to applications and choose people. You can set facebook information only to add to existing contacts rather than having all of them in your phone book.
Best tip touch and hold and find the extra things you could do
Best way to find out more is to go on youtube and see demos and previews by microsoft

I'll do that mate , thanks for your advice
Only thing you need to know for smartphones these days is swipe up and down, left and right, press and press and hold.
Dont be affraid to press every single function and explore it.
Since my first phone ive yet only found one i couldnt use That was a cheap 70 quid Samsung phone from my friend damn things was horrible.
But smartphones are so easy to use these days its nothing hard.
If you want to post your facebook status from people hub click on your picture in the pic hub, that will bring you to your fb wall. Then click again on your status or pic to post your status in Facebook or in Windows Live
