Go to http://www.skyfire.com/sign-up and sign up for Skyfire with the beta code of cnet100 . I had been on the list for a couple of months and never got it. Sign up with the code even if you have before and you will get a text to download it right away!! Not sure how long this will last for!
Too bad I'm already signed up, and you can't sign up multiple times with the same phone number.
If you signed up for the waiting list and have yet to get the download then click the link and do it again with the code. Thats what I did and had no troubles.

Not sure, Im running it on my Tilt. This is taken from the Skyfire Q&A
Q: Can Skyfire run on my VGA Windows Mobile Phone?
A: Phones with VGA displays (640 x 480 resolution), will not work with the current beta. We support a maximum resolution of 320 x 320 pixels.

On their website it says its not yet available outside the U.S.
Holy Cow!!
It is AMAZING! It even does Flash seamlessly. My MySpace is loaded with Flash and YouTube videos and it loaded them as fast as my MacBook would load them. Thank you for the hookup! Finally, I have a browser that I like, as IE is awful and Opera is quite buggy.
Got SMS with confirmation but no link ...
Thanks!
Been waiting for this forever, much appreciated.
It says my number has already been registered. What if i give it a different phone number, then copy the download link to my phone, will that work?

Thats odd, when I did it, it sent the confirmation with a likk to confirm then it lets you download it from the link.
Beta 1 or beta 2? I got registered for beta 2 ... May be I was too late
same here got the link but no download thanks anyway. any way to share the dl?
Bear with me I dont really know how to explain this ...
When browsing a website with links to images i can click on a link and view the image pretty nicely however when zoomed into the image it becomes blocky and grainy, is there anything i can edit in the registry to force opera to download images in a higher resolution.
please help
Its likely to be your phone network compressing images.

I actually work for T-mobile so the staff contract i get is web and walk max enabled. To my knowledge there shouldnt be anything restricting the image quality as i havnt had any problems with any other phones ive used in the past.

Doesn't matter - T-Mobile Uk has a transparent proxy which compresses images and degrades picture quality to conserve bandwidth. Maybe you can convince them to stop doing it.

It's kilobits.. that score is under 2meg.
yea i did a retest using a different server. theres a newer screenshot up. 2megs!!
lol...if it was 7.2..... it would say 7.2 on that speed test lol
and the link you updated is not up
damnit image shack!!
ok try now. new link
7.2 isnt the transfer rate. its the network size. transfer rate will never be at 7megs
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Speed_Downlink_Packet_Access
hmm... 7meg transfer rates?? im sooo out of date. maybe tmobile capped it???
ok just used mobilespeedtest.com and did the 3meg test and resulted with 4082kbps. im not liking this speedtest.net app.
use xtreme labs speedtest
and 7.2 transfer rates are possible but due to network traffic, it will probably be much less.
what did you get before?

mobilespeedtest has alrdy been proven to be false and misleading.
and 2meg is actaully pretty normal depending on ur area.

the xtreme app will only work once then i have to reboot. but with it i do get 400-500kbps down. same as when 3g first rolled out. signal stregth at my house is not all that good. so to see 2megs down after my 3g signal dropped for about 30mins alerted me to what tmobile was up to.
I get 751Kbit/s down and 151Kbit/s up in downtown Seattle area.
Since T-Mobile US is headquartered about 20 minutes from here, I call BS on them upgrading the speed, as I'd think they would do it near HQ first.
I'm getting download speeds anywhere from 57kbps to 126kbps on average...
I'm getting upload speeds anywhere from 578kbps to 814kbps...
Is this normal? Is there something wrong with the towers in my area? Because I get similar speeds on other android devices (including samsung moment, and other htc hero handsets).
What speeds are you getting on average? Please, let me know if you think there is a problem with the towers in my area... Or if I should call Sprint? Thanks

Thats what I said! But, I have Sprint. And, I'm using the speedtest.net app.
Mine are backwards too! Uploads are way faster than downloads, using speed test, my location Houston TX, downloads 641-uploads964. A bit backwards, lol.
Just tested mine. Download is 2176 and upload is 978
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
just ran mine and i am downloading at 1154 kbps and uploading at 401 kbps... in Miami
I have 100Mbps internet, and a Cisco EA4500 router
Galaxy Nexus gets around 30Mbps over WiFi.
Nexus 4 only gets 1.03Mbps down over WiFi
anyone else getting really atrocious speeds over WiFi?

Speedtest
Also, when trying to download apps from Play Store, small apps are taking forever to download.
So it's not just some incompatibility with Speedtest
I really wanna keep myself off of XDA, the more and more I read the more and more I wish I kept my SGS2 ):
Good thing I have 7 days to refund

I have no idea what you mean by "WiFi Canal"
but if you're talking about changing my WiFi channel, there is no need - every wireless device in my house gets great speeds:
Galaxy Nexus (x2, 2 family members have them)
Nexus 7
Asus EeePC 1000HE
MediaCentre PC
so it's nothing to do with my router, or my WiFi configuration. It's the phone.

Hope your problem will be solved dude
(Try McDonalds wifi too ?)
I have a feeling it's your router and/or firewall settings.
For example, on my friends connection It'll take me 5mintues to DL a 3mb app from the playstore, but the speedtest is just fine. At home, it'll download in a second or two.
While the phone is the only thing experiencing the issue, your router is the only thing that could be causing it. Have you tried anyone elses wifi?
