Skyfire Wants in on Apple's iPhone

Right because any company could release basically the same exact phone for three years in a row and people buy it all three times

😁

You mean blackberry?

oh wait, they have released basically the same exact phone for what, 10 years now? more than that?

No, blackberry models are typicall very different from one another from year to year. The OS is similar, but not the hardware. compare the Tour to the 8703e

Hey, I had the 8700 series (don't remember exact model) for a long time. I loved that phone!

Menno to be honest, people do that with Blackberry's and now Android phones (well not quite 2 years). I have went from a 2g to a 3gs. Which isn't too too bad.

This isn't directed at you, but I hate this hate crap, be it on any device. If somebody enjoys using a Blackberry, Android, iPhone or WebOS device, so be it.

There is a lot more differences between a blackberry world edition and a tour than there was between the 3g and the 3gs

I don't mind it if someone prefers using one device or another, but justfinethanku is known to hop in and blast other OS's, so I saw the oppertunity for an amusing quip and posted it. If it was you (or someone else to just likes the OS) and made the same comment, I most likely wouldn't say anything

Haha... wasn't the blackberry switch to 3G about a year after Apple threw 3G into thier phones, and the near doubling of processing power of the iPhone and doubling of the memory of more significant difference than anything blackberry has done???

Menno, you are on point about a LOT of stuff, but dude, your just dead wrong on this point.

More memory is kind of a moot point since blackberry memory is mostly external

Actually Verizon blackberry's were 3g for quite a bit before the bold. The Curve was released in 2008, around the same time as the 3g iphone.


Going from the world edition to the tour you would get:

-Camera
-higher resolution screen
-approx 2x the internal memory
-higher capacities supported for SD cards
-redesigned device (you might say they all look the same, but the change from blackberry to blackberry is pretty different than that from iphone to iphone)
-Faster processor
-One of the best keyboards out there and noticeably different from the world edition (or curve)

Not to mention the stability of OS 4.7 over previous versions.

🤣 for all the apple users out there who think skyfire will not help think again. Apple would be a better product if it had some sort of flash platform browser like Skyfire. The problem still with apple is the video quality. Everyone else is getting on board with higher processors and 480x800 resolution screens. Apple is still using a 320x480 resolution screen!!! WTF....Video quality is so much better on many other devices. maybe the iphone 4 will bring some better quality.

I do- and I would guess I was one of the first people with Opera mini for the iPhone. I love it! Now if I would actually be notified when I got emails I'd almost be happy with the thing.

Yeah, be sure to post your thoughts in detail if you can. I'd like to spread the gospel according to Opera.

Iphones are only good if they are jailbroken other than that they are almost usless/no fun its the same stuff over and over with all apps that are coming out just different names such as the playmesh doveloper ... j

I would be willing to put money on the fact you do NOT own an iPhone.

And I'd wager you haven't used Opera Mini. I wonder who'd win?

I'm thinking me.

Opera Mini is absolute garbage... of course I've used the FREE application! haha...

Dude, it's fast, WHEN you can actually see the page. And when the page loads it is near-unreadable and requires you to zoom into the text wich is in 1 font and cannot be changed in size at all.

The rendering is garbage. Some pages, in fact a LOT of pages don't even show up.

I would rather wait the extra 5-10 seconds for Safari to load pages correctly then have a quick loading garbage browser.

If you use the browser for longer than 10 minutes it makes you want to kill yourself and everyone around you.
