Get Skyfire Right Now with a Special Code
We got a tip from Kareem informing us that the Skyfire beta can be downloaded from now until August 30 using the special promotion code “Michael8″ over at the Skyfire sign up page. Skyfire is the really awesome browser that works on the Shadow which brings desktop-like web page rendering to your phone.
I just tried the code out and it worked….which is really big news for those of you waiting to get a copy. After you sign up on the Skyfire website, you get an SMS which links to a page that will let you download the file. If you want to know more about Skyfire, check out the video that Mike posted a few months ago.

Without inputting the code, all that will happen is you get signed up for the beta, which means you will get the SMS whenever they decide to send it to you, could be right away, could be in a few months. Took them 2 months before they sent it to me, and I signed up for the first beta when it was first announced.

Where are people getting these codes? Maybe if someone would share the source, there wouldn’t be this confusion.

Or better yet, just supply the text message, or the download link! But no, that would be too logical.

I’m pretty sure the link supplied in the SMS message is a one time use link, otherwise everyone would already have it.

I received a text on my phone, downloaded the program and it worked for three days. Now it won’t work. I keep getting this message that reads,”Network timed out while trying to connect. You may be in an area of limited or no data coverage. Please try again later.” Is anyone else having the same problem and know how to fix it?

Timothy H. ~~~ that’s the message i was getting but it was due to poor signal strength when my wifi isn’t on. I just tried it at work and it came up with no problem cause i had full signal strenth w/out wifi on.

So Timothy and Keyla I got that message too. So, I decided to turn the phone off then back on again thinking that would help…..but my phone locked up on me and I had to remove the battery. After about an hour and a half of tense battery removing and restarting my phone finally came back on. Don’t know if it’s related or not but be careful.

The reason there seems to be a lot of confusion is many different scenarios for each user.
1. Signed up and waiting for the first Beta: you should already have skyfire working by now. If you don’t have beta code already follow the step in #2.
2. Signed up for Beta 2 or attempted to sign up for this and didn’t get it right.
* First, goto the skyfire “LOGIN” page – http://www.skyfire.com/support/login – and choose “if you need to change your phone number” and change the number to anything you want. I used my wife’s so I can still get beta2
* Second, sign up again using a DIFFERENT email and your correct cell number. Be sure to use the code Michael8 for the “BETA CODE”
* Third, Verify your registration by clicking link in the SMS sent to your phone by Skyfire. It should take you to the website on your phone where you can now download the cab file to your phone.
3. Never attemted to sign up: skip the first step in the instructions above.
**** If your are outside of the US you are on your own there. sorry

Hey I downloaded Skyfire from rapid share. I just cant log on into it because i dont have a passcode. Does any one have a generic one they can share? Or can anyone make up an email address and give us the name/pass so we can access skyfire? If someone is bold enough to do so please reply.
