yes, but only for certain people.... i did run it on the Q and it allowed Flash and you could see full blown web sites on a mobile device, which in my mind defeats the purpose + you had to zoom/pan like crazy in order to read content... i'm a simple dude and i don't mind seeing mobile versions of web sites when i am on a mobile browser, but again for a lot of people it was/is a great "tool".. (another downside on the WinMo version, it would put a big strain on the battery)

I beta tested on the Q & when I changed over to the BB I thought I wouldn't need it anymore so threw away my password.
They sent me an email to vote for them so I thought, well I got the email part might try guessing my password. So now I am back in!! *pats self on back*
Going to get in touch with our "cross-over" MOD & maybe get on the beta testing list for BB's. Right now it's in alpha but I really wouldn't mind testing this beta browser at all, again.
There are some things worth beta testing & this is one of them.
Thanks for posting this rb....
Now have to go "bug the crap" out of someone to get on the list *evil grin*

Geek, let us know what you think of it.. I've never had any experience with Skyfire and this seems pretty interesting, imo.
