Bolt Browser: Great Mobile Surfing

Bolt Browser for your BlackBerry has been updated to version 1.6.  If you tried an earlier or Beta version of Bolt and ditched it out of frustration, I suggest you take another peak at it. Admittedly I find it a little bit frustrating to use 3rd party browsers because you have to manually access it in place of your native browser but due to the harsh limitations of the native browser I have found myself turning to Bolt more and more often.  After loading up the update this morning I am definitely going to recommend that you try using this browser to view and shop themes on your BlackBerry.  The PC shopping experience for BlackBerry Theme Park is undoubtedly better than the mobile one, but with Bolt you can have the FULL PC experience right on your BlackBerry!!  If this isn't enough for you, you can even play the flash based Facebook games from Bolt!!
