Skyfire is the best browser out. absolutely the BEST. I have the samsung saga with verizon, and its a touch screen, full face front qwerty keyboard an on screen keyboard if needed, a stylus and a optical mouse that is way better than the aggrevating trackball of the blackberries. Skyfire is a breeze to operate with the optical mouse on the Samsung Saga. Zooming and all is easy. Devices that are completely touch screen are a bit aggrevating to pin point and select or zoom on a specific item on a web page. The optical mouse pin points precise locations that you want to zooming in on or select and waalaah. Skyfire is perfect for the samsung saga. I watch tv shows and movies free on the internet all the time. My kilobyte usage is off the charts, Good thing I have unlimited kilobytes plan. I have already forwarded the download for SKYFIRE to everyone I know with winmo devices. I am really considering getting rid of my laptop now. SKYFIRE has made the perfect browser I tend to use my phone more now when I have my laptop with me. I have timewarner cable and internet. And when the connection is down with timewarner and i can't use the internet Verizon Wireless and Skyfire browser, ans Samsung Saga keeps me going. The browser is Great the network of Verizon is great, and the samsung saga is a good device to have

skyfire is ok no vga support it is a blown up 320*240 on my touch pro its currently the best solution for flash enabled or Ajax web sites but watch out skyfire opera is close to opera mobile 9.7 that will have these features and display 640*480 and 800*600 modes on a mobile device with flash and ajax also so will the wm6.5 upgrade with internet explorer

I agree with tuminatr in that Skyfire really needs to have support for higher resolutions, especially with the competition catching up. That being said though, Skyfire is a very impressive browser, and I look forward to what future versions will bring.

Since it plays flash videos, can you play flash games with it??

One other thing I like about the browser is that it has support for "drop down" menus and pop ups. Like when I go to my banking website; when I log off, it will ask if " I am sure " I want to do this with a pop up icon on a regular PC but does just as well with Skyfire. One thing about this review though: The said that they were using the EDGE network with a Touch Pro. Hmmm. Is it me, or is the Touch Pro a CDMA phone? I thought EDGE was a GSM technology. Maybe they got it confused with the HTC Fuze ( the GSM variant of the Touch Pro ).
