Mufaddal 678 Report post Posted January 19, 2009 BOLT is a free downloadable browser that offers an uncompromised browsing experience on even lower-end mobile phones. Rather than offering a simplified, mini version of the Internet, BOLT provides users with a fast, efficient, feature-rich way to enjoy full PC-style web pages and rich media applications on all levels of mobile devices. Built on Bitstream’s ThunderHawk browsing technology, BOLT is the result of 5+ years experience developing mobile browsers that optimize usability, speed and performance on resource-constrained systems with limited memory, processing power and screen space. The Features: It’s Java ME (J2ME), so it should work on most featurephones. Don’t expect it to work on your iPhone, though. WebKit based rendering engine Relatively lightweight - 150kb storage, 500kb of RAM required Fast! In BOLT’s words: “Bitstream measured download speeds of 13 popular websites including Amazon.com, CNN.com, ESPN.com and nytimes.com. The second fastest browser averaged download speeds in excess of 18 seconds across all pages. On the same phones, using the same networks, BOLT’s average download speed was under 13 seconds, a full 5.5 seconds faster. “ Like Opera Mini (the main J2ME competition), data is passed through a proxy for rendering and compression before being passed to the handset, speeding things up and saving battery life. It’s generally a good thing, though such practices tend to spook most security-minded folk. Pages are compressed at a rate of 23:1. RSS reader built in, with automatic feed detection “Split screen browsing” - 2/3 of the screen shows the full page, serving as a mini-map with a highlighting box, while the other 1/3 shows the magnified area. URL auto completion Phone numbers automatically parsed for Click-to-call User interface is currently English only, but the browser can render pages written in any Western-European language. AJAX support, and Flash video support (Sort of - it’ll take FLV files and convert them to the more mobile-friendly 3GP format, streaming that to you.) Note that that’s Flash video, not Flash in its entirety. http://boltbrowser.com/index.html this browser is still in closed beta .but anyways i got a copy .uploading for all you to try Bitstream_BOLT_v0.73.zip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

situ1962 21 Report post Posted January 27, 2009 I have used the browser.it is a good one.but one major issue,the largest font size is also very small compared to opera mini.letters are unreadable unless one's eyes are in very good condition.i have come across another java browser.it's name is UCWEB.from the menu options it looks to be very feature rich,even better than bolt.but the only problem is,it is not working on reliance network.but it is working on airtel and voda.perhaps it requires some twiling to work on reliance. Techies please visit www.ucweb.com and download and try it.also you can visit http://wap.ucweb.com from your phone's native browser and download.i could not.it have me error message (unsupported content type) so if anybody succeeds in using it on reliance,please post experience here.

KumaarShah 143 Report post Posted February 13, 2009 For people who want opera with multiple page browsing, saved pages etc, can try Opera Mod. It was posted earlier on this forum. Or google it. I am using OperaMini 4.2 though. The Opera Mod does not work on my 6265 currently Earlier it was working, now it is not. Even Yahoo Go! is not working.
