Up until now, I couldn’t try Skyfire’s browser offering, it demanded an US or more recently an UK phone number for registration of the Beta. With the release of version 0.9 it’s finally become a free for all, and it adds some social media features that may be welcome, or not?
Just a note here, I’ve been registered for the beta, notification when it would be available outside the US, UK, and the notification I got, nada, nothing, zip. Any way, I’ve just installed the .cab to have a quick look, and although it renders well, and seems quick, it lacks a few obvious things that I think should be included in a browser.

You wont have to deal with that company that will remain unnamed, that has apparently ruined the iPhone experience north of the border. Looks like Telus, has got the drop on the HTC Touch Diamond on the side of the pond that’s not Europe. Although it’s a CDMA version, and you’ll have to sign up for a three year contract (Eek), if the Diamond is forever, for you, you’ll be migrating for sure.
If you’ve been following the news you’ll know it’s an awesomely speced WinMo device, It’s got a 528 MHz processor, ROM: 256 MB
RAM: 192 MB DDR SDRAM and WM 6.1, nothing to be sneezed at there right?
So how did Canada manage to wangle the first release of the Diamond?
I don’t know!
