Bolt was the last browser to come BlackBerry’s way, and Opera Mini has been available for a long time, but Skyfire, who’s been chilling on the Windows Mobile side for awhile now, is working on making the platform jump. Streaming video from Hulu loads up hunky-dory, so Flash video works – I wonder how far that Flash support extends? Will it also load up irritating advertisements and chunk up our mobiles? Supposedly not, as an early alpha review has dubbed Skyfire “the best BlackBerry browser ever”, even in its current testing phase. If you take into account the subpar native browser, BlackBerry cannot have enough third-party options.
