Bolt Browser Officially Out

http://www.blackberryos.com/forums/b...ially-out.html



For a while now Bolt has been in testing. Today Bitsream has announced that the browser is out of testing and is official with the release of version 1.5. Many of you have taken quite a liking to the new browser.

Bolt is a free browser alternative much like Opera Mini but built on Bitstream's ThunderHawk browsing technology. It features fast page loading along with full desktop PC style Facebook and social media functionality. It also boasts secure shopping, RSS feed reader, and ability to view videos from sites like YouTube. Bitstream surely knows a browser needs to have features.

Soon you will be able to download the Bolt browser from their homepage.

I use them both aswell. But we are talking about a new beta version. Its supposed to be faster. Version 1.04 is way too slow. 1.5 is supposed to be faster but I can't get it to download...

Yeah me 2.

When something don't work in one browser (formatting, or unclickable links), it usually will work in the other. Never liked Bolt's font though...

They seem to have an option to install fonts but I could never find any details on how to actually go about it.
