   The tips line has been running hot today. Brian has just dropped us a link to the OTA for SkyFire browser for BlackBerry. I’ve tested it on a Bold and works great.

   You can pick it up at the following OTA link:

   http://www.theiexplorers.com/BBM/Skyfire/skyfire.jad

   UPDATE 1: Previous Link is down: Try here (Courtesy BlackBerryOS) : http://www.blackberryos.com/forums/software/4461-skyfire-ota-coming-soon.html

   UPDATE 2: Looks like the leak came from TheBlackberryZone.com not BlackBerryOS.

   I’ve included a few screenshots (more available after the Jump) for you all to have a look at.

   Let us know what you find in the comment section below.

   Enjoy. (And thanks again Brian for the tip)

   I think the link may be wrong for a Bold, I get a download failed message, 907 invalid cod.

   I wish I’d had a copy before Hulu.com blocked Skyfire. Hulu also now blocks the PS3 browser suddenly. Jerks!

   All the leak did was slow down actual testing and development…also, alerted SkyFire to a leak so next Beta release will be even harder to get a hold of…and it sucks anyways and you all were fed the VERY first ALPHA..it’s not even a beta..you all are 2-3 versions off so to even judge it off of what was leaked leaves you ill informed.

   This folks, is why some stuff is better off NOT leaked..real beta users of SkyFire are now going to have issues connecting and addressing bugs for the day which in turn, slows launch.

    Just tried it on my 8900. It’s not working. I can’t even see the homescreen. I only see poca dots.

    Tried visiting websites, but to no avail, it just wouldn’t do anything.

    I’ll try & reinstall just to see, but most likely I’d have to wait for an updated version.

    I successfully got it running on my 8900. I needed to let it log in to their servers, which took some time.

    On 8800 works terrible, slow and laggy (dont know, maybe its problem wtih serwers). Using TCP and Wi-Fi to connect, no support for BIS (maybe next version).

    I’m having the same problem. I think Bla1ze is right, and maybe we should all hold off.
