Skyfire for Symbian S60 officially enters private beta stage; We have 50 beta codes to share!
By Dusan Belic on Friday, August 1st, 2008 at 9:17 AM PST In Applications, Mobile Web, Symbian
Skyfire is officially launching its awesome web browser for Symbian S60 based devices. As you’re probably aware, with Skyfire browser you can enjoy Flash video and AJAX based service without having to launch a separate application. For one thing, Google (NSDQ: GOOG) Maps works perfectly on Skyfire.
And now the best part – we got 50 beta codes to share. Here are the rules how to get them:
- You must have a Symbian S60 smartphone
- Only U.S. citizens can apply (we’re sorry, those are the rules provided by Skyfire)
- You need to leave a comment to this post with your email address
During the weekend, I’ll send out the instructions and beta codes to the first 50 people who leave a comment and leave their email. That’s it!
UPDATE: Skyfire beta codes were sent out! We’re sorry for some of you who haven’t received it, I’m sure Skyfire will make its browser a public beta soon. As for the “U.S. only” rule (we got a question regarding that), my guess is that it’s the question of servers (location), which parse the data (web pages) prior to sending them to users. This isn’t official, though, just my guess.
Can you please ask them to explain and justify their US Residents only rule.
I would like to try it out.
This would be great. I registered but haven’t got anything yet.

No email. Does that mean I didn’t make the 50?
Downloaded it yesterday. Browser works very fast and embedded videos work well, even with a small lag. Definitely the best mobile browser I’ve used
Man this is what i have been waiting for!!!!!!!!!!!
hey guys, i haven’t received my code yet and i was one of the first 50 people to reply. Can I have it resent incase it didn’t go through by any chance?
Doesn’t work on a wifi connection… :S
and I’m not about to spend $50 to view a couple web pages on edge
(I live in Canada)
It works fine on WiFi for me. In fact, I can only get it to work on a WiFi connection because for some reason I can’t get it to work on T-Zones. I can use the phone’s built in browser for internet on T-Zones just fine but SkyFire won’t load for some reason. Ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
