There are an endless number of alternates to the native S60 browser out there now days, including Skyfire, Bolt and Opera mini. But today I stumbled accross a new one over on the Daily Mobile forums called Digita.
It is still in beta and has the odd few bugs and niggles which need to be addressed, however the whole experience, in my opinion easily surpasses that of the in built s60 web browser. The interface is nice and clean in contrast to our phones native browser and it supports flash to.
There is also the neat ability, like the N97 does, of automatically switching the device to full screen once the webpage is fully loaded. This is something I believe makes the whole viewing experience a lot more pleasant. There is also the option to have
multiple windows open (the same as tabs on a desktop) in order to seamlessly browser different webpages at
the same time much like the iPhone. Â Hopefully the slowness will be improved in future releases, oh and I ’ve noticed that when you want to log into something securely i.e Facebook, the application just closes itself. But anyway, why not give it a try and see what you think.
