Downloading and testing out now.
Sweet. Going to try it now.
What are the improvements?
it says checking flight mode.
then when i untick the proxy,
it says locating. either ways its not working why?
Just tried it and with this version I could not get any audio on Last.FM, anyone else got an audio bug? I'll soft reset and try playing with it a bit more.

This new version is faster than previous .7927. Less lag and it perform fast on every click. Works fine here on Kaiser.
So, if there is any never version, do upload here again

yeah I contact them regarding the LG Incite (same res as Omnia) and they sent me a canned response indicating that 240X400 is not supported. It would have been nice if they at least said something about possible future support. At least Opera works.
anyone know how to get scrolling working with this? I have ftouchsl installed on my trinity and scrolling works great with opera but doesnt work at all with skyfire.... it doesn't support scrolling?
It supports native scrolling, maybe you should add skyfire to Ftouchflo exceptions (there may be a conflict).

Hi all,
i tried to install the Opera rip from the Touch HD which was posted here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2842296&postcount=1523
first thing to say is it is amazing fast compared to our build in the X1 and it is wqorking really good, but there is one really big problem which makes it useless
If you wanna key in an url with the Hardware keyboard, then after starting after some seconds the fild disapears , with the software keyboard this problem doesnt happen.
I really hope that sony comes soon with an update, or an developer can fix it on this build haha

yes if you longer dont write something but with the HTC build you can write and it will go away anyway so this is an different problem
the X1 version of opera is said to be optimized for the X1 and running really fast (@pocketnow.com Review Youtube Video)
so why install the Touch HD version ?
the TouchHD build is much faster then the built in version, also it has an better xperience in my eyes when it comes to zooming and other things
its still version 9.5, just another build...cant make much difference
did you try it with the same websites, same connection speed etc ?
believe me it is a lot faster on same webpages with same connection (WLAN)
the page rendering is faster, how it displays the page is better, specially on zooming, loadtime is better.
Believe it, i tested it, but have to hardreset to get it away again and to get the originla opera for x1 again.
regards cHarOn
alright, but with that bug you mentioned its not really worth changing
yes agree , its not worth, thats why i posted it , to warn the users, or maybe to see some developers to have an solution for that , maybe i should try an Touch Pro build also, but that is only for VGA and i dont know what happens then
I'm using 2723 and it's much faster than the default one. It loads pages faster, plus it scrolls much much faster, the flick scroll can keep up with your flicks.
The onlt thing is it can't use the default startpage and uses it's own.
I've been trying loads of builds, but I think this is the latest from the Opera site.
works there also the hardware keyboard as it should, i mean if you key in an long webadress will it stay viewable?
ok tested the last beta and you are right, it runs also really fast, same as the Touch HD Build and the good thing with the beta is , it doesnt overwrite the SE Build, it makes an extra installation called Opera Beta, so you can easy remove it again if you dont like it, or let it installed and you can use both
where to you get that build ? Just the latest version from the opera website ?
What about Skyfire ? I heard that is the best browser for WinMo

SkyFire won't even run in VGA let alone WVGA
What build is the buildin one (since I don't have my X1 "yet")? I remember there are 2 major version for Opera. The build 2xxx version has this keyboard timeout issue while the 19xx version will not on my Att Tilt
2141 is the build which is installed

But it is actually the same problem,it dissapears while i write.
trying out the new beta (9.51) and there the google-field works ok,it,s also faster and more polished in zoom and so on higly recommended.
hmm thats strange, that doesnt happen on mine, it only happens if i stop writing and wait some seconds, but on the HTC build it happens after writing 3 letters and i am fast
so i got 951b2.cab from the website, is that the build you refer to ?
will get my X1 today hopefully
i just got beta version of skyfire. It's working now with my HTC Diamond. Check it out.

youtube is working great and some other video site or flash site. However, it doesn't connect when i use edge but it's working fine with wifi.
I've heard that people are stuck on "Locating" when you're not from the US
im in the uk and it runs fine except for youtube doesnt give me any sound.
anyone have this working with orb... i get an error downloading the stream file, any help would be great, im kind of tired always needing 2 browsers to get the content i want from the web

Opened with IE 6, gettin the "Locating.."
I installed the latest version on my Diamond but to be honest I am not too impressed by the resolution.
Is there a setting that enables vga mode? All the fonts and images look stretched as if it were QVGA, anyone else got this problem?
I think I might give this a try. Just wondering if anyone had any opinions when comparing it to Opera???
Here's the cab for you. If it will violate against the rights of the owner please feel free to delete that post (to mods) or tell me and I'll remove the cab.

Opera is FAR better as an everyday browser in my opinion.
I can see Skyfire being useful though, especially if browsing websites that have a lot of streaming media and flash. It's also quite good if you use sites like digg/reddit.
Facebook sucked and the homepage didn't render as it would on a PC so that was dissapointing, but I visit facebook using the iphone.facebook.com URL via Opera and that's quite good.
The application is supported by VGA devices like the Diamond, however, it certainly isn't optimised for VGA, as you will notice when you install and run it. The buttons look stretched, fonts don't look right and when zoomed out it looks quite pixelly
It's a good concept, however I feel that Skyfire has a way to go before it can compete with more stable browsers like Opera which is far more practical.
New opera build extracted from latest (30/12/2008) Omnia ROM:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MH67LC7D
It has the same features (zoom style, scroll window, etc) than previus builds from Omnia ROMs
Enjoy
very nice, i have always considered omnia opera builds some of the best.
any chance you have a link for the rom?
In the line of the 1957 ? Great i'm gonna test it
Played a bit with this version, Flashlite 3 worked after reinstall on memory (i had Opera on SD and this one is on memory)
I can't tell if it is much faster than the build 1957, but it scrolls fast, the zoom is smooth and there is no landscape issues with my kaiser when using the hardware keyboard. I also noticed that it lags less than previous build when scrolling/zooming with flash stuff on the page.
I love it
Darn, didn't fix two of my issues - Stars don't show up on the Google Reader Iphone version (google.com/reader/i) and my phone is still identified as a mobile device for ESPN.com. The mobile version loads automatically and I cannot get the regular version to load, even though in my settings I have it set to identify itself as a desktop computer.
Anyone else run into these issues?
Thanks!
Anyone got a mirror? I can't download this thing from megaupload, very weird!
Just installed this version and now everytime i start my phone is just insists on loading up opera on its own, and if i close it, it will just fire it back up every minute
very annoying!

I tried installing this to my sister's touch and it was saying installation was unsuccessful. the program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions
This Opera version is awesome...
FAST, cool interface... Flash 3 work now...
Zoom bar in right side... no keyboard problem...
wow ! i think one of better Opera build tested for me...
THX for this gift ! happy new year !
Any way to get a SD version please?
I am using the 2520 version from the omnia that is the two file upgrade from the 1957 version. The omnia versions have always been the best.
Thanks
Can one of you guys please try https://secure.k12planet.com in this build. Im still on build 2128 because every build after this one results in the site saying that the browser is incompatible. I need this site to work for school. Thanks.
Edit: If it works, the page will show a login screen. Wait until the page stops loading because on the Opera builds where it doesn't work, it briefly shows the login screen before quickly changing to the browser incompatibility page.
^^^vidman...that site loaded for me on 2520
Hi can any one tell me how to get the zoom slider on this version thanx.

Guys, calm down...
It isn't a zoom slider like in the other opera versions. There isn't a "zoom" button. This one...tap on the right side of the screen, and slide finger. If you wait too long you get the menu. You will see a vertical zoom bar popup. Much better IMHO since it doesn't have the zoom button covering up the screen.
hello! anyone have problem that when backlight goes off it starts to blink? like one second backlight on and other off? anyidea how fix that?
VGA skin is attached. I did it real quick, there might be a few glitches, I used the basic diamond skin, but this one has all features of the omnia version. so give it a shot. it is better then nothing at least. and it works great on the touch pro.
Here it is!
The most wanted mobile web browser beta is out.
Its so fresh that i've just tested it a minute ago, qnd now it"s urs
It's still buggy, but less..
FENNEC OFFICIAL BETA
here
Thanks!! Any other hosts, lol
Better yet, get it from Mozilla directly:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mobile/
I'm guessing it's VGA only?
In case both the first mirror AND the mozilla ftp go down, here it is on 6 other hosts:
http://www.rapidspread.com/file.jsp?id=bw0arxmwqc
i installed on my omnia and no workie. I click on the Icon and nothing Is it resolution specific?
Wow... Great find guys... I didn't think we'd have a beta release for about a week yet!!
I am hazarding a guess at it being VGA only as the beta was marketed for the Touch Pro...
Drool! I am going right now!
After having a quick fiddle with it...
I can confirm there is no SIP!!!
That must be the reason for using the Touch Pro to release the BETA on.
Anything without a hardware keyboard has no way to type inside Fennec that I can see at first glance. If someone finds a way to - Please correct me.
It runs rather sluggishly on my Diamond also. Seems a bit unoptimized?? Either that or it wants the extra RAM the TP has...?
It is VGA only.
I have one word to describe this build: Ouch.
They have a LONG way to go before they have a functional browser. This is awfully slow and I'm on a fairly well optimized Touch Pro. I don't even want to think about the start up times on a stock Fuze.
it leaked this morning and was reported as being awful...and it is... it's unusable like the alpha was
http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1903
Yeah this definitely needs work.
Good for Diamond?
I just drooled a little on the keyboard.
Uuu imagine sync with desktop Firefox.
Took about 30secs to startup on my Touch Pro, and still none webpage worked.. always getting Page Load Error screen.. using 3G network, never tried using Wifi..
Hasn't this beta been out a while?
***EDIT***
Ok. Found the new build and all I got to say it ugh. 25 MB? Yikes! More work is definitely needed.
Absolutely terrible. Took forever to load and no page would load, not even Gmail, lol. This is pre-alpha really.

Nah Sergio... Sucks for Diamond - We have no hardware keyboard... Presumably why the beta was being aimed at the Touch Pro.. There is no SIP input in the current version...

Will any app definately enable TomTom to run?

Yeh - I'd like to know that too.

Hello,
No response maybe because nobody have it for the test -
I receive my hd mini, next week i will give a try.
@+++
I'll try to check tomorrow; along with Slingplayer, Mobile Shell, Calendar Touch, Coreplayer, HiCalc... Just a question of whether developers think WM6.5 HVGA or WP7 devices will be the biggest market over the next few months.

Thanks in advance.
Looking forwared to hear more
TomTom 7.915 working without a problem on HD Mini; first lock took about a minute, subsequent locks about 10s.
Also Coreplayer decoding DVD-ripped 700Mb movie files with a benchmark of about 105%, which is much better than I was expecting.

Could you tell me what version of Coreplayer you used?
I can only get sound working but no image, I tried .avi & .mp4 files
I have Coreplayer 1.3.6 build 7427; the trick is to change the Menu->Tools->Settings->Video output type to Raw Framebuffer; GDI seems to work too, but not as well.

It seems to work with both but I don't see a notable difference.
TomTom is very important for me.
Now I'm just waiting for the HD Mini to be released in Denmark.
I agree.....no TomTom no phone......
You can order already the WWE version on various places....
using qvga tomtom and no problems. some minor crashing text on the gps status screen but nothing to worry about.
