Skyfire is a free mobile browser that many people talked about for the last couple of months. And now the Skyfire has reached Alpha 3.5 stage (upgraded from Alpha 3.1). Just like the previous version, the Skyfire Alpha 3.5 is made mainly for Blackberry Bold 9000; especially those which operates OS 4.6.0.167 and 4.6.0.247.

However, it might be also interesting to see the Skyfire Alpha 3.5 works on the Blackberry Curve 8900 and Blackberry Bold 9000 which use the OS 5.0.xx version

The version of Alpha 3.5 is 1.0.0.12799.

Skyfire developers said that they removed the Stream Mode in the new Skyfire Alpha 3.5. Other new addition in the Skyfire Alpha 3.5 are:

  • Inline Text Entry: You can now edit/enter form elements directly within the page, without being interrupted by a dialog box. Makes it more direct, convenient and retains the context.
  • Click-to Call: The Blackberry client now will utilize tags in websites that trigger a phone call, when clicked (e.g. callto: and tel: links). You have to confirm before the call is initiated.
  • Set as Default Browser: when set, links will open Skyfire
  • Downloading of Files: you can now invoke the download of files to your device.
  • Improved Scrolling: Further tweaking since the last Alpha.
  • Reduced Checkerboard occurrences
  • Alpha limit: We implemented a simple mechanism to limit the number of new users in our system. Once reached you see a message. If you encounter this and are part of this Alpha group then please contact us.

Several bugs found in this Skyfire Alpha 3.5:

  • Clear cookies: When you clear cookies in advanced settings it will not work. Will be addressed in the next release.
  • Inline Text: We are seeing several issues.
  • Sometimes old text is visible (Issue 331 & 409), when re-entering text box, the cursor is positioned at the beginning of the text field (Issue 333).
  • Download: timeout when downloading large files (Issue 435)”

The Blackberry Storm  freeware is called Portaserver, and it is a solution for accessing files on our beloved Blackberry phones over Wi-Fi. So here’s how it works: the Portaserfer freeware allows us to connect to our Blackberry Storm over Wi-Fi to browse and download files from your BlackBerry.

Download Blackberry Storm 9500  freeware: portaserver JAD file here

PortaServer allows you to use your WiFi capable BlackBerry as a web server, and access its file system from any web browser on the same network. You can view or download pictures, music, videos, documents or web pages directly from your handset over a WiFi connection.
The web server provides a password to protect your data from random visitors; this password is displayed on the main screen of PortaServer. The password will not, however, protect you from targeted attacks or when using public WiFi networks. We recommend that you only use PortaServer in a secure environment (e.g. your home or office network)

Upon launching, PortaServer displays the URL to connect to your BlackBerry, and the password required to access the device. To use, simply turn on PortaServer, enter the URL it provides into a web browser on another device (computer, PDA, or other), enter the password, and you will be able to browse the phone’s files.

There’s another good news. The Portaserver freeware is also can be used in various Blackberry Models, including: 8120 (Pearl), 8220 (Pearl Flip), 8320 (Curve), 8330 (Curve), 8350i (Curve), 8520 (Curve), 8530 (Curve), 8900 (Curve), 9000 (Bold), 9020 (Onyx), Curve, Pearl Flip 8230

This basic trick and tips for Blackberry smartphone might be something that you might already know, but I’m sure there are people out there who just doesn’t know how to delete app from their Blackberry (whether it is Curve 8900, Bold 9000, Storm 9500, Tour 9630, etc). So basically the way to erase/delete app from your Blackberry is just the same for every Blackberry series.

Here’s how to delete the app: Find Options, then go to Advanced Options, and finally choose/click on the Applications.

So what happen next?

Well, soon after that the Blackberry will build an applications list. After that you will see list of applications including the core apps and other things. Remember, only delete app that you are familiar with.  after finding the app that you want to delete, highlight it and click on the menu. Then just press Delete and confirm that you really want to delete the app.The Blackberry will soon prompt for restart.

NB: If there are multiple app that you want to delete, do not restart yet until the last app deletion.
