Skyfire-1Looking for a different web browsing experience on your Nokia? If you have a device with Symbian S60 5th Edition, such as the Nokia N97 Mini, then you'll now be able to download the Skyfire 1.5 mobile web browser, offering a different environment from which to browse the web. To find out more, and to see  Skyfire 1.5 in action, read on after the jump...

Skyfire 1.5 offers a fast and smooth web browsing experience, and with support for Symbian S60 5th Edition devices such as the Nokia N97 Mini. It's designed to offer full support for touchscreen handsets, with improved kinetic scrolling to make browsing a more pleasant experience.

Skyfire also claims its browser is the most advanced and one of the quickest mobile browsers available, but the most impressive feature is the ability to run Flash, letting you view a whole range of websites on your Nokia that you wouldn't be able to on other handsets. You'll also be able play back fullscreen video clips.

Don't believe the claims? Check out the video below. We'll also be downloading and testing Skyfire 1.5 in the next week or so, so keep an eye out here for a full review.
