Amen to that, Gareth. There’s no way a simple java app will beat RIM’s browser. Now if only Skyfire would consider working on a BB beta…

I agree with you Gareth about the fact that there is no improvement over the native BB browser. It also seemed to keep having connectivity problems with it on my 8320 (bearing in mind that Mini Opera worked perfectly from the get go) and I lacked the time and inclination to play around with it. Whilst I understand that it’s BETA software I don’t think it should fall at the first hurdle.

It looks tacky, they need to improve on the font rendering but overall it has no appeal for me. There is no improved performance over the native browser they claim it does.The cursor browsing is by far better in the native browser.
