Bolt Browser on Nokia N97 - Screenshots

2009-08-26T01:40:00.000-07:00

I was not satisfied with the default browser comes with Nokia N97. I tried many other browsers like Opera mini, Bolt. Finally I stick with Bolt Browser. It gives mobile browsing experience like Desktop PC Style. Scrolling is irritating thing while browsing web pages using Mobile. But with Bolt, it make things easy. No part of a web page is missing with this browser. Its easy to use.

Bolt have its own video player for flash videos. Browsing youtube is good with this browser. Videos playing inside the pages. Not opening in new pages.

Here are some screenshots of Bolt browser on Nokia N97 mobile
