Last Friday we informed you of the new internet browser - BOLT, which is currently in a limited test version and after we’ve received an invitation for participation in its testing, we decided to see how it performs…

I got the invite, and I could not get it to load up. Although their tech support said it would work on a verizon device. Looks like I will be waiting (forever) for the BREW-based version of Opera Mini

this is not going to work for the LG Voyager since you cant store and open another browser on a handset. This is meant for the bb storm or something equivalent to that.

It will work on any Java enabled phone but the Voyager runs Brew apps. I loaded it on my Instinct but still like Opera Mini a lot better than Bolt. I wanted Bolt for the Flash support which only seems to work on YouTube becasue every other video or live audio stream would not load. It is a pretty good browers for the simple fact that is a Beta but it has a long way to go before I would choose it over Opera.

it will only work on vzw's pda phones. but people with phones from other carriers shouldnt have a problem with this app. its because of the vzw OS that it will not work on norma vzw handsets

I posted the other day on Bolt. It is fast. That one strength outweighs most of the cons. It does need a few tweaks and a Storm optimized version would be fantastic. But I got it working on my Storm 1st try and for some of the mobile version pages I still use BB Browser everything else I use Bolt just bc of speed.
