Any other Browser for the Hermes?

Are there any other browsers beside P.I.E. and Opera mini out there? I hate these 2 browsers! Please, any help would be appreciated.

Netfront, Opera for PPC (not mini) for example

Netfront is decent
you could get P.I. plus(an add-on for P.I.E), but it costs after 14 days
I've attached cab's of both
i found nokia's browser (optimized opera) on my e61 (same as n95, n93 etc.) the best, especially its minimap...alas it works only on symbian based phones

netfront

Minimo
Try Minimo. It can be a tad slow to open tabs, but it renders far quicker than PIE. FYI, Minimo is a port of Mozilla Firefox for WM5/6. Strangely, I haven't seen it mentioned here before.

Thanks that minimo browser is what i was looking for a java enabled browser the interface is kind of funny though but im trying to understand it.

I was about to post a similar message today. I just upgraded to the Vp3G WM6 Rom and finding that Opera mini doesn't work as well as it did on WM5 (I've tried both the 3.1 and beta 4 versions and they both act buggy and slower).
I've never liked PIE and I even downloaded the beta version of their Deepfish browser which is slow and doesn't zoom well.
I've used Piscel browser, which is great for zooming but not really for browsing quickly, plus I'm getting the memory full error too often.
I have the Opera 6.5 full mobile browser, but it's slow too. The plus is that that one will let you download stuff (such as megaupload files, etc)
I'll try the Mozilla one, but it doesn't seem too great.
The NetFront one is slow too and zooming isn't very user friendly.
I guess I'll have to wait til Opera gets their act together on the real release of the next mini, unless there's something else out there. Opera mini, IMO, is hands down has been the best mobile browser out there so far, but I wish it wasn't so buggy running on WM6.

Full Internet

Is it possible to get "full internet" on the Artemis aka as the Iphone and just seen the LG Viewty has? Or is this down to the service provider? I know you can view full pages, but the scroll bar navigation is a pain.

Try to find Picsel Browser i am using this one for a little while and it's great

and youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5xMly0-dcM&feature=related

Where can we get picsel browser?

Opera Mini
Theres also Opera Mini with full page zoom etc and its free. http://www.operamini.com/

Hi I have looked at this software and it looks great do any of the mods know if it will work on our devices or is that just wishful thinking.

Has anyone had a look at Deepfish? i think its in testing, looks good tho.

-edit- just use Opera Mini!!!

Opera mini 4 is by far the best, and works very similar to how Safari operates on the iPhone.

Opera Mini is absolutely the best. Especially the new opera mini 4. Works real fast, minimizes the download amount, and speeds the loading of pages on GPRS connections.

you can set your device to view in Desktop mode as it is, not the fastest though but this is down to the network speed and will be about the same as the iPhone. Your device has always had the ability to view the full internet, as long as your provider allows it.

I just downloaded Opera Mini... WOW!

sorry , was a mistake

The real thing is Opera for Windows Mobile 8.65. Almost desktop experience including tabs, secure connections etc.

True, but until Opera Mobile 9 is released, the free java based mini is far superior in terms of general usability.

opera vs skyfire 10
I have both new opera mobile and newskyfire 10.
my thought on the 2,is that skyfire has opera 9.7
beat hands down.with new skyfire,rendering is
a lot faster and new zooming feature is better.also I don't have to worry about getting
flash to work,flash videos play just like on desktop
with no lag.one other thing is that you keep
your speed without having to disable something
to download. I will try and post both cabs and opera widgets

opera vs skyfire v10
short message,hands down new skyfire still has the lead.sorry tried to up load cabs but having security issues

skyfire v10
here it skyfire

rendering looks crap on skyfire imho ... you have to zoom in to not see everything blurry .. and opera definately has the better, more fingerfriendly controls.

best fastest most reliable mobile browser ever tried and far better than 9.5 screen rotation has been real improved and with respect to the battery killer and connection sucker skyfire this 9.7 Opera is the best to have in your pocket

Skyfire is not a web browser, it's a remote desktop client. You're using it to view the page that's being downloaded and rendered on a server. The server then sends you a screenshot of what it has rendered.
Maybe in US you have a skyfire server close and through a high bandwidth link, but outside US it's too slow, you zoom and you see an JPG zoomed for several seconds. Also, the bandwidth it uses is bigger, which can be an issue if you use Internet on the road and not through WiFi / Activesync.

Best Browser for WM Phones

Hello all,
what is the best browser for windows mobile. Opera its fine but not realy the best ?

in my opinion opera mini 4.2 under jbed and mobile 9.5 for all pages that mini can not display properly.

This should probably be a poll. Unless you have a scientific way of measuring "best", all you will get is a bunch of opinions. And everyone has a favorite browser, so with enough replies you will have all the common browsers represented.
The right answer may be "it depends".
I have PIE, Opera and Skyfire, and they all have their advantages.

NetFront 3.5

X2 on the Netfront 3.5...Tj

Opera Mobile 9.5 for everyday use, Skyfire when Opera 9.5 fails to open something and Opera Mini 4.2 when i want low traffic (when roaming for example).

Opera works best for me

Opera Mobile 9.5
And soon Opera Mobile 10
Coming soon!

Best Browser for X1?

I've used both IE and Opera, and it seems that IE is a lot faster (I always thought opera was supposed to be the fastest).
The browsing speed of my xperia, combined with the horrible keyboard doublepressing letters makes it a useless piece of junk to me for internet uses!
I had a better time using my X1 as a wi-fi router and reading manga on my iPod touch using its opera, it was amazingly fast (pages load within 1 second), however on the X1 itself, it would take FOREVER.

My top 3:
1. Opera
2. Skyfire
3. Internet Explorer.

Opera 10 for me. As a 'bit on the side' I also keep Picsel, it's a convenient browser and all-rounder for opening all sorts. At the time of me getting it a few years back, it was a semi-legal Samsung port that was protected better than White House. I loathe IE and never ever use it.

opera 10 is far better than IE, , much faster too... i wont mind having that IE that's faster than opera

browser
Hi there, I have experimented with many browsers, and the one browser i have found to work the best is Skyfire. I couldn't log into my banking webite due to many javascript and all sorts of funny things, and skyfire was the solution. I also use the others, as I have found that some work better than other. I don't think there is a master solution, but a question of experimenting and finding "horses for courses"... my 2 cents worth ....

There are many threads like that here. Use search little and you will see.
Also there is no clear solution to this answer. Everyone have different best browser.
For me, that is Opera 10.

I have Opera 10 on my X1 and its not bad, however I was just wondering if anyone has managed to get www.tvcatchup.com working on their phone yet ? The browser keeps telling me that it needs flash so I installed flash light for windows mobile and it still come up with the message that it needs flash..

You won't get full flash on WM. Your best bet is to wait if they release Android 2.2 for X1, but flash would still be super slow and choppy.

My vote goes for Opera Mini (the .cab, not the .jar). MUCH faster than the std. browsers

I know that one.

I am currently using Opera Mobile 9.5 but it sometimes crashes my phone when you first launch it or close the program.
So what is the best lite Internet browser for the X1?

opera 3.0 mini hand down !!!

can i get the cab that's free?? i feel opera is better!!!

i am using the one called UC browser , its very good , fast and reduces GPRS traffic , i used to install opera mini with my p1i and p990i before , and it was better than UC and much more effective with the traffic reducing , but with my X1 , the only opera mini wich can be installed is the Opera mini 5 beta , which unfortunately doesnt support Arabic symbols ....
the opera mobile browser ( not mini ) consumes GPRS data like a monster , and is not economic at all

UC Web - Wonderful browser open 10 or more tabs!
UC Web is a wonderful browser I have been using. Both on the PPC and WinMo Standard. Can open lots of tabs (have often opened about 10!) and not restricted to 3, as in Opera 10.
Has proxy based compression to reduce data usage, if needed. Unlike most, have prefered it over Opera, Opera Mini, Teashark, IE, Skyfire etc. Though for some specific uses one may want to use other browsers, UC Web has been my default browser for a long time.
Also very suitable in downloading stuff.

I'm using Opera mini beta 5. It's really thumb friendly, fast and snappy.

My favourite browser for everyday use is opera 10. It's fast, displays most sites correctly and I like it's user interface.
For all sort of flash based sites I use Skyfire but I cannot use it as my standard browser because of the lack of tabbed browsing and the chessboard issue.
My default browser is Internet Explorer since I frequently use programs that rely on the default browser and I experienced some problems when I changed the default browser to Opera.

In china we use UCweb

Opera mini 5 is the fastest one then opera mobile or IE.
