Aching to try out the Skyfire browser, but just can’t seem to find a way into the beta?
In order to get the word out there about the recently added Silverlight support , Skyfire has decided to open up the doors to everyone for the next 8 days.
On the eve of the Olympics, we added Silverlight support to Skyfire, meaning that Skyfire users can watch any ofthe 2200+ hours of Olympics coverage provided by NBC on their mobile phones. To celebrate Michael Phelps’s monumental accomplishment of winning 8 Gold metals in a single Olympic games, today we have released a special code “Michael8” which will give new users access to Skyfire and the games (and the full PC web). Spread the code “Michael8” to your friends and let them part take in these historic games on the go.
If you’re rockin’ a WinMo or Symbian handset, head on over to the Skyfire Beta Sign-up page and punch in the code for the download. If your friends ask, tell them you’ve been in the beta since day one.

As lame as the windows mobile internet explorer browser is, Skyfire is not that much better. The battery use, the clicking problems, and the whole experience leaves something to be desired. Opera Mobile is IMO a better application for this.
doors aren’t opened to those outside of the US still…
