I stumbled upon a new Mobile Browser for our HTC Dash, its called UCWEB Super Browser v6.0.1. While it is still a Beta, it is very stable (has not crached or froze up yet and I've been using it for a few days), it is very fast, has TONS of options and well (I hate to say it) is a bit better then Opera Mobile. It works flawlessly with Google (like Googles new "my location" feature on mobile search, GMail and others where Opera does not work or only half works. Security is very good and its fast as heck in rendering (it renders pages on the device not a remote server) pages and gives you the option of preformating to your devices screen size.
A quick feature summery:
Main Features:
• FREEWARE - Its free cant get better then that
• Adaptation for small screen
• Data traffic statistics
• Visited history
• Domain name quickly input
• Supporting multi-formatted file
• Supporting web local-storage
• Multi-windows browsing
• Page dynamic optimization
• Picture optimizing display
• Shortcut Keys (user defined)
• RSS Feed Subscriptions
• Built in E-mail Client for POP3 and IMAP, full support for attachments
• Comprehensive search features (user definable)
• Download Manager - Resume broken download connections
• Personal Data Manager - Saves web sites to your device, export bookmarks
All in all I give it a solid 9 out of 10 (and its still in Beta)
Check it out here: UCWEB Super Browser v6.0.1 beta
Download the Windows Mobile 5 and 6 CAB file here: UCWEB Super Browser for WM 5 & 6
Crashes Dash on first try will install to phone mem and give a try.
No such luck just shows a black bar @ top and crashes phone
I can't get it to load after installing the cab. Freed up memory and closed everything in task. Hmmm when I get time I'll try again. I checked out the website and phone model not supported. They have a generic option. What phone did you select Keith?
I download the HP -> iPAQ 512 and installed fine.
Could be that the cab Keith upload got corrupted.
*Thanks to NRG for suggesting compatible phone to Dash*

Which one did you go for as there is 2 with different file names?
http://wap.ucweb.com/dl_platform/publish/scripts/mobiledetail.php?project_code=100&mobileid=3000
Or could you just media share the file please.
Thanks in advance
Honestly...you're not hip to the Chinese language?? wow
I honestly flipped a coin and picked 2. lol
Here you go
Update: Although playing with it, not knowing if that is the right picking, it is a bit buggy.
I installed the generic, Java. I like that a whole lot better.
Maybe Keith can enlighten us on picking the right phone for our Excaliburs.
Yeah I installed the java generic earlier today and it worked fine but the Chinese is a killer. It makes you crave rice...
It's quicker than skyfire but not so sure it's faster than mini.
I'll try the HP cab.

Nice one, how did you know which Java one to get? Or was it lucky dip again?
Look @ this for a translation http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translat...pts/webcommon.php&lp=zt_en&btnTrUrl=Translate
rather funny
i didnt download the cab
i did it through wap site on phone
I saw "English" and clicked on it and it translate the steps.
Any idea if this works over t-zones??.....
Visit the wap site with your phone http://wap.ucweb.com . I downloaded mine directly from the wap site and it autodetected my Dash (I run 6.1 Kav by the way) and I had no problems. The above CAB is for WM 5 or 6, I guess it looks like it wont work on 6.1 or perhaps the CAB got messed up on upload.. I'll reupload it.
this is what you want right?
the Dopod 720w is the same as the Dash so this is the version you want am i correct?
also acording to translation the first download link is the most current version where as the second link is last stable.
I find that the fist link does not work however the second link works. (as far as running the programm goes)
i must also say its very beautiful nice find, its fast like opera mini but functional like skyfire of corse sacrific on both but meets in the middle somewhere.
The English version works fine on my HTC Touch Pro (Raphael). Up to yesterday, the file name for HTC Diamond (should be OK for Touch Pro I believe) is:
UCWEB6-61-300-31-08081214.cab
Chinese HTC is re-branded as Dopod or 多普达, Touch Diamand is calleds900.
I love the browser not just because I speak Chinese but for its unmatched features that not found with other browsers. But I don't put all my eggs in one basket, BTW.
It can use vodafone's 3G high speed Internet or Wifi (not USB with ActiveSync ).
The function that I would like to have in future versions is Flash!
Thx for the info on ucweb
thx bupahs ucweb is awesome i like it more than opera mini,more options plus when i edit my cpr file my font is the font for all applications in ucweb ,cool
It took me several tries to get the right version from their website. First I should have scrolled down to where I could switch the language to English. Instead, I downloaded the first one that appeared to be for a Windows Mobile SP. It turned out to be the latest Chinese version and even the chinese characters wouldn't show up on my phone.
Then I installed a Windows version, but I got warnings that it wasn't for my phone. It worked anyways, but I did want to get rid of the warning so I tried again. I recall someone mentioning that the HTC Dash and the Dopod C720W are the same. So I found that particular version and it is really fast! It's amazing as well that it's running natively and not as a Java App.
Uninstalling the other incorrect versions didn't go so smoothly though. The icons remained in Start/Programs. Therefore, I restored my phone from an earlier backup and then reinstalled the UCWeb browser.
Thanks again for this great find!
Thank you,
Tim
Screenshots are a must!!!!
UCWEB....
I downloaded,works great except for streaming videos.Says i need the latest version of flash player....when i try to update,it asks what OS i have.i`m not sure which to pick...I feel stupid but can i get alittle help?A link maybe? Thanks in advance.....
i have to say this is my new favorite web browser.
Definitely a great browser so far! It's quick, renders well, and is very flexible (options-wise).
the only thing i don't like is that i can't see facebook like in opera mini otherwise is awsome
i have the latest version 6.3
Welcome to the our first 0.9 Alpha release (version 0.9.0.8294)
This release is Windows Mobile only. We will have our first Symbian 0.9 release in early January.
Please read through this post since there are some gotchas that you should be aware of.
Starting with this release we are starting our Alpha program much earlier, and introducing for each release a smaller set of enhancements. The benefits are:
* You get earlier access to releases
* It is clearer what is new and allows you to focus your feedback accordingly.
* We get feedback earlier and can better integrate it into the product.
Our target for this release is last week of January.
This release is basically the latest Skyfire 0.8.5 with the following additions (more to come over time):
Text resizing:
This is a new approach to improve the readability of larger sections of text on a web page.. Our current (e.g. 0.8.*) approach is ‘Smartfit’, which reflows text into a narrower column. When it worked it was ok, unfortunately it broke a lot of web sites.
This new approach simply increases the text size enough that you should be able to read it more comfortably once zoomed into the text area (e.g. into the column width). You can switch this feature on/off by using the ‘Smartfit’ toggle. This allows you to see the difference as well.
This is our first iteration. We are looking forward to hear your opinion.
WVGA and W(Q)VGA support:
Finally. Now we support both WVGA (800x480) and WQVGA (400x240) devices on both portrait and landscape format.
We have tested in-house the Sony Ericsson Experia X1 (WVGA) and the Samsung Omnia (WQVGA).
Please see the list of known issues for these phones. It’s early days so please help us report issues.
EXPERIMENTAL: Flash/Silverlight handling:
Experimental is what it says: this is something that we played around with and we wanted to get your opinion.
When the cursor (using the d-pad) is placed over a plug-in element (Flash or Silverlight) the cursor will change to a hand a red dot. This provides two functionalities:
1. Each click will move the cursor half the distance for better preciseness.
2. You can enter “Direct Edit mode” (click and hold):
This will now send all keystrokes directly to the embedded app. This opens up the possibility to enter text into Flash or Silverlight.
Play with it and tell us what you think.
Known issues for this release:
- Samsung Omnia sometimes disconnects after ~15-20sec when carrier data service is used (WiFi seems to work)
- Sony Ericsson Experia X1: soft menus are incorrectly mapped in portrait mode. This can be corrected in the Windows under settings.
Warning: WHEN YOU SEE AN UPGRADE FLAG IN SKYFIRE PLEASE IGNORE IT. This will unfortunately upgrade you to the production version and overwrite the Alpha release. If this happens, then uninstall Skyfire and reinstall the Alpha version. Sorry for this, will be addressed soon.
Your existing username and password in 0.8.5 beta (e.g. production) continues to work for this Alpha. Thus your bookmarks and history will be preserved.
To install:
Download from this post, extract and transfer the CAB file to your device. Then install. It will be cleaner if you uninstall Skyfire first.
Windows Mobile touch screen use: 0.9_Alpha_RC.8294-PPC50.CAB
Windows Mobile non-touch screen use: 0.9_Alpha_RC.8294-SMP50.CAB
Link does not work!
Broken link, would be kind if you hosted the cab directly on XDA .
Cheers!
it works for me.but i am a member
Would you please post the .cab file here? You can attach it to the first post.

done it ..thanks guys ive learnt something new..enjoy your skyfire
Thanks man, you're great!
Cheers
First feedback:
It doesn't seem to be able to use my data connection. However, it works when I connect using wifi.
It does use my data connection. However, the sites are blurred (probably because they simply streched it to WVGA).
I try this SkyFire on my HTC HD befor few hrs and what to say I Uninstall it permanently!
Very ugly and bad quality screen
It`s not so fast like the peoples think.. my based opera 9.5 is 1000 times better than this!
I don`t see any reason to use this kind of browser and when the guys from SkyFire know the Display on HTC HD why they don`t do something to look cool and clear?
The browser look like is made for 150x300 device and someone streched it thousend times!
with one word REALLY NOT WOTH IT
Skyfire is still in Alpha... Don't expect miracles yet.
The big plus is the ability to handle flash 9 content including flash videos.
Bug: No sound in flash video such as youtube.
It works, but has no real WVGA. Looks like it scales up.

Well, Skyfire is a miracle. It loads flash videos three times as fast as my data connection is, so I can even watch youtube videos without buffering on EDGE, which would normally be impossible. It's twice to three times as fast as Opera.
There are still bugs and no real WVGA support, but it's already evident that the final product will indeed be kind of a miracle.
Btw, I've got sound on youtube.
I agree it is much faster than opera but this alpha version looks like crap compared to opera. They do need to make it real WVGA although I think I'll still use it in the mean time.
the best
Thanks man, you're great!
Cheers
better than opera and iE
Sweeet! I'm trying it right now!
Some feedback:
When I started it, the boot up of skyfire was looping between "check flight mode" and "Acquiring data connection"
I forgot that I was in flight-mode, so I switched to TF3D (minimizing skyfire) and switched off the flight-mode.
However the Data connection wouldn't turn on!
So I killed the process of skyfire, and then my data connection could turn on.
Then I started up skyfire again, this time with data connection on, but it got stuck at the "Preparing to load..." screen.
3rd try worked!

Your comparing apples to oranges guy.
so it still doesn't work well with cistom sip. while the page is loading it does,t scroll and pan properly.
any build dump from devices?
wow, this version look REALLY awesome!! the speed is just phenomenal!
this is probably already known, but the deault windows mobile sip always popps up when editing texts, instead of the htc sip. can anything be done with this?
EDIT:
you said this version has no multilingual support. this is great for me (for compatibility purposes) and i might want to do that with other builds too. can you tell me how you removed that support? or is it just inside the build, and that's the way it came?
i have created a workaround for the default keyboard issue popping up.
what you need to do is just disable the "Keyboard" sip, and the opera wouldn't be able to use it anymore, thus not changing your selected sip.
note you wouldn't be able to use the "Keyboard" sip anymore, until you uninstall the workaround.
tested on touch pro only.
just install and SR after.
enjoy.

Hey guys,
I installed this beta and tried to use SSMaPa to replace the Opera icons and what-not on TouchFLO however it has back fired badly. My Opera now does not seem to load properly at all, can I unstall the Opera that comes pre-installed and replace it with the new Beta? Thanks in advance.
Any help on this?
Just install the new version
Ola,
Just install the new version ignore any error msg. Softreset en run Opera. If opera is allready there you got now 2 seperated versions
That's works for me.
And for you... Fingers-x
Let us know if it works or not.
Grtz,

Odd that now Opera (default) has taken over the Beta so I don't have the Beta at all. Can I remove Opera from the system and then use the Beta?
Windows Media plug-in?
With other versions of Opera I have been able to stream and listen to Windows Media content through embedded plug-ins on webpages. With this version the plug-in is replaced with the text "Plug-in content" and nothing happens.
Anyone got any clue as of how I might fix this?
Thanks
Hi,
Is there any trick for having the zoom wheel enabled on HTC Touch Pro / Raphael?
Thx.
I am also very interested in the flash plugin. In the original opera on the HD I could play flash contents as I had installed flashlite 3.1. However with this beta version I just get the placeholder "plugin content". If I go to "Settings / Advanced" the "Enable Plugins" box is checked.
Would really appreciate if anyone could come up with a workaround.
Regards
Opera Mobile 9.7 beta 1
Posted over at ppcgeeks by a member who found it on opera's ftp site.
cab:
ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/winmobile/970b1/
anyone try it yet? worth the dload?
I tried it.
There is no flash support
And Opera Turbo server has to be enabled in settings.
But even with Opera Turbo, the website load time is still the same.
So I think the server is not active yet.
It is very very smooth!!!
so just try it!
ive tried it, i think it is slightly quicker with opera turbo enabled, but seems a bit buggy. e.g. it wont load a url if you click on the go arrow next to the url, you have to press enter on the device keyboard.
scrolling is very smooth and quick though - this is a vast improvement
is there anyway to make this replace the opera in the ROM?
hello
someone how he would recover opera favorites
8.5 to pass the version 9.7 turbo
ps: translation of my text by google ( french - English )

i did have that in the beginning, but now it seems everything is working again, give it some time and soft reset a few times (i'm on miri 17 also)
I have onkolog super lite wm6.5ROM and works fine. Turbo is the best!
I have to say that for a beta (from Opera) it's pretty good....a bit slow rendering....but on the whole once the page is loaded an excellent browser.
Here's hoping there is more to come.

It's great... some old features doesn't work...

As you know, we've been working on this version for quite a while. When you see the end result, we're sure you'll think the waiting was worthwhile. To download, go to http://m.opera.com/next, but please note that phone support varies from previous versions of Opera Mini.
Some key features:
* New, sleek design
* Tabbed browsing
* Password manager

* We have made a special, native version for BlackBerry which includes opening links and copy-and-paste functions

* All Palm devices will have to stick with 4.2, as they aren't capable of running 5
* Downloads, feeds and Opera Link are all disabled in the Beta while we polish the implementation

* Devices with small resolution (less than QVGA, 240 в 320) are not recommended to try the beta

Enjoy Opera Mini 5 beta! :yes:

How can you install this version over the version that's already installed?
Because last time I installed an other version of Opera I suddenly had two opera versions installed....
Nobody has an answer on the above????
And I have some problems with the HW keyboard on the X1. When trying yo type a number on my HW keyboard, bij selecting Fn and then press the number, this just don't work. I then get a letter instead of a number.
Also sometimes I have to load a page twice to get it loaded the way I want.
But overall way fater then the previous versions.
just uninstall the older version
That's not realy a solution, that's just getting back to the older version.
With Opera mini it just sits in the Java app thingy, so you can have multiple versions installed.
streaming windows media player files

+ 1 for skyfire. If the scrolling was as smooth as Opera I'd go as far as calling it the best mobile browser.
I tried out Skyfire but was pretty disappointed with their screen resolution, at least on my TyTN II. Text came out somewhat blurry, not sharp enough. Opera Mini on the other hand rendered great, and is still hands down the lightning-quickest browser I've ever used.
+1 Opera Mini
