Anyone mess around with the G2 yet?

[Seanr]

I hear it's pretty good.. pay no attention to the 800mhz BS... although gingerbread Requirements is 1GHz Processor, and 512MB of ram.. so yea, if you happy with 2.2 and have no plans of upgrading to gingerbread (although I'm sure the dev community will work that shit out somehow)

Just Got the Epic and having a blast with it.

btw Firefox just released it's beta browser on Android today

[Chun Liroy]

Yeah I saw that, gonna prolly try it out see how it is. I like skyfire a bit though.

[Omnipotent]

name of the browser?

[Rhinox]

its not on the market gonna have to download it directly from Mozilla

Mozilla Fennec. Can download via this QR or here: Firefox Mobile Beta for Android

[dejet]

the pre beta build was really bad, I do understand it was a pre beta(alpha...? ) but it Force closed 80% of the time just going to a new web page. Cant wait to test out their real beta build, I trust FF to make a good browser if they are given time.

[sruon]

new firefox is decent but still slow at times :/

[Doombear]

I started downloading it and then read that once installed it is 44MB or so... jeeeeeesus. Dolphin HD is like, 3MB or maybe less even. We will see if the bloat is worth it or not.

[Chun Liroy]

I installed it, it's really slow so I don't like it very much. Skyfire is lightning fast.

[Doombear]

New home screen, love this wallpaper. It is on my Laptop as well now.

[Rhinox]

Had to uninstall Firefox. Got to many black screens and got fustrated

Same, I can't even load something like espn without waiting 10 years. I'll stick with Dolphin.

[Chun Liroy]

I used dolphin for a long time, I'd really give skyfire a try... shit is lightning fast.

[Rhinox]

edit: nevermind

Found the answer a few pages back

Liking it so far, going to continue to use.

[Doombear]

A recent speed test I read showed Dolphin as coming out ahead of Skyfire. Personal feedback is that this is NOT the case Leroy? I actually use the gestures on Dolphin quite a bit, and it really is fast on my phone at least. Just curious if you do see different results than those listed in the speed test article.

On a side note, I just spent an hour trying to figure out why my 2 week old Incredible could not send or recieve MMS messages. A week ago I remember that i somehow broke my Mobile Data (no web, no market, no messages/email) while trying to build a Tasker Profile to turn off Mobile Data and Wifi at night. I fixed that by downloading Quick Settings and turning Mobile Data back on. Apparently that still broke the the Mobile Data APN, and I had to install ANOTHER widget App (CURVEFish's APN On/Off Widget) to fix that...

Fun shit.

[Chun Liroy]

A recent article I actually read said that skyfire is by far the fastest and dolphin is only ahead of Fennec.

This was posted a page or 2 back.

I tested out the skyfire on Diablo3.com since I know it's a tough site to handle and it loaded it hella quick, so I stuck with it.
