Skyfire for Symbian S60 officially enters private beta stage; We have 50 beta codes to share!

Skyfire for Symbian S60Skyfire 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 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.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

  • Jer

    No email. Does that mean I didn’t make the 50? :-(

  • Sergio

    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

  • Gerald Jenkins

    Man this is what i have been waiting for!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Phong N

    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?

  • Zak

    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)

  • Jeremy

    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.
