New JAVA Web Browser - BOLT 0.73

[Phat^Trance]

BOLT is a free downloadable browser that offers an uncompromised browsing experience on even lower-end mobile phones. Rather than offering a simplified, mini version of the Internet, BOLT provides users with a fast, efficient, feature-rich way to enjoy full PC-style web pages and rich media applications on all levels of mobile devices. Built on Bitstream's ThunderHawk browsing technology, BOLT is the result of 5+ years experience developing mobile browsers that optimize usability, speed and performance on resource-constrained systems with limited memory, processing power and screen space.


The Features:
It's Java ME (J2ME), so it should work on most featurephones. Don't expect it to work on your iPhone, though.
WebKit based rendering engine

    * Relatively lightweight - 150kb storage, 500kb of RAM required
    * Fast! In BOLT's words: "Bitstream measured download speeds of 13 popular websites including Amazon.com, CNN.com, ESPN.com and nytimes.com. The second fastest browser averaged download speeds in excess of 18 seconds across all pages. On the same phones, using the same networks, BOLT's average download speed was under 13 seconds, a full 5.5 seconds faster. "
    * Like Opera Mini (the main J2ME competition), data is passed through a proxy for rendering and compression before being passed to the handset, speeding things up and saving battery life. It's generally a good thing, though such practices tend to spook most security-minded folk. Pages are compressed at a rate of 23:1.
    * RSS reader built in, with automatic feed detection
    * "Split screen browsing" - 2/3 of the screen shows the full page, serving as a mini-map with a highlighting box, while the other 1/3 shows the magnified area.
    * URL auto completion
    * Phone numbers automatically parsed for Click-to-call
    * User interface is currently English only, but the browser can render pages written in any Western-European language.
    * AJAX support, and Flash video support (Sort of - it'll take FLV files and convert them to the more mobile-friendly 3GP format, streaming that to you.) Note that that's Flash video, not Flash in its entirety.

Nokia 7610 - error

[arsradu]

Works great on Nokia N82. Thx a lot! I couldn't install it using the .jad file though.. I got an error when the .jar file should have been downloaded and installed.
Anyway, the important thing is that it works and it's pretty damn fast. Also it has some kind of online convertor for youtube .flv files. It converts them into .3gp (although not to a very good quality).
Thx again!

Seems great...but facing one issue in my nokia 5800...still not able to figure out how to browse full screen (in desktop mode). Bottom part of the screen is always filled with virtual navigational key pads. How to hide/remove it? Anyhelp?

BOLT v0.83 S60v3 J2ME-Browser with Streaming Video,Flash,Split Screen View (update)

Bitstream seems to be offering a beta version of a new smartphone web browser called Bolt, which boasts “full PC-style browsing on all types of mobile phones.”

Key features of BitStream BOLT include:

- WebKit based rendering engine

- WebPages are compressed at a rate of 23:1

- ECMA Script 262 JavaScript support for Web site forms, applications and other information

- View AJAX pages that are written using ECMA-262/JavaScript 1.5 standard

- Supports WAP 1.x content WML, and WAP 2.x content XHTML-MP with WCSS and ECMAScript-MP

- Automatic detection for RSS feeds

- Supports streaming Flash videos

- Split screen browsing - 2/3 of the screen shows the full page, serving as a mini-map with a highlighting box, while the other 1/3 shows the magnified area

- URL auto-complete

- Detect phone numbers for Click to Call

- Red emphasis added by me.

- YouTube!

What’s unclear is whether this browser depends on a proxy server. This seems to hint at that: “23:1 over the air data reduction speeds delivery of pages to your phone.”

Just for the sake of being able to get YouTube, Veoh, and other Flash videos services as soon as possible, this could be an interesting bit of software.

Bolt is updated.to version 0.83
 Unfortunately Bolt didn't publish a change log, and when I tested the program I couldn't find any improvements compared to the previous version
 ( rename the file by removing .zip )
