Bolt Browser .83 Available

[TurboD]

I started Bolt this morning and it alerted me to an upgrade. Phones rebooting now to finish upgrade, so havent tried it yet, just letting you know its available.

Do you have a link for it or something? thanks

If you didnt have first beta, http://www.boltbrowser.com/download.html
use "crackberry" as the referral code.

So far ive noticed you can now go from portrait to landscape without page reloading and the back button actually works now. Still not optimized for Storm yet, as SurePress doesnt work.

Hmmm, when I tried running Bolt it didn't ask me to upgrade.

From their FAQ:

I have an older version. How can I update it?
As soon as a new version is released BOLT will prompt you to upgrade. If BOLT discovers an older version installed on your device, a message to upgrade to the new release is displayed when you initiate a browsing session. If you skip the upgrade, BOLT will re-prompt you to download and install the latest version after 24 hours.
To upgrade to the new release:
a. Select "Download" from the upgrade message
b. BOLT will launch your devices’ native browser and load an HTML page with five download links, similar to the links received in the invitation email when you initially signed up for the BOLT Beta program
c. Click the appropriate download link from the Web page. (in most cases this means the BlackBerry-specific version for BlackBerry's and the dual signed link for all other devices).
d. Follow the steps onscreen to download and install BOLT.

I have tried to download it several times and always get a 406 error stating that the COD is unacceptable. I have given up on bolt.

That sucks, wonder what the problem is. Id say ive downloaded Bolt an easy dozen times with all the shifting between O/S's and its always worked flawlessly. Fill in info, email shows a few seconds later, copy the unsigned link (now theres a specific BB one) and send it to my phone through a text msg. Once I got the msg, picked link, selected downloaded, and done. Bolt is just so much faster than BB Browser, its good for forums and what not. I still use BB Browser for important stuff like banking though.

Try to navigate to a page, that did it for me.

[mystakilla]

I just downloaded and I am impressed. Loads up images 10x faster it seems.

I love Bolt Browser! It allows me to view Myspace as if I'm using my desktop, showing backgrounds, comments and all. Loads pages super fast just wish it supported SurePress because at this point I click links by trying to swipe the screen. Still an awesome browser though, just have to be careful where you touch the screen.

OK, I have upgraded to the new Bolt .83 but I am having a problem.... I can bring up wap.howardforums.com but it is small lettering and will not let me click on anything... no LOGIN window or anything. Any ideas?
