i tried this before, found it to be very unresponsive, many time webpages not loading, video's not playing.

when it worked it was great, but i definately prefer the smoothness of opera

ditto, the pages I needed that had flash wouldn't load. Back to the waiting game.

Use a recent build of Opera (I have no idea which build number, sorry. But use a custom ROM with the latest build in it), install Flashlite 3.1 cab (floating around here I believe, or work your way through the Adobe site to find it) and in theory it should work :).

Skyfire sucks flash the only good thing on it. Thay should rename it slowfire lol.It may load the page fast but then needs to re-load when zooming in on page(slow). If you want to try something other than opera try Iris. Its free and not bad

Iris made my Diamond crash badly several times, like one out of 3 loads of iris was a soft reset. There was something on the forum about Skyfire loading pages trough their servers and many people didn't like this. I don't like it because of it's way of rendering mentioned above and the crude interface.
