VERY similar to Opera Mini 5, Dont you think?
I beg to disagree. The OM5's UI is eye-candy and user-friendly. BOLT, on the other hand, offers better full page rendering and streaming support.
@Matt OM3.2? I rather pick 4.2 than 3.

Yeah thanks  that's the one, OM 4.2 I think it's nicer to navigate with 4.2 than 5.0 and Bolt 2.1

i agree i have OM 4.2, but with T-Mobile Web'n'Walk logo replaced, and OM 5 and 4.2 is way faster and more user friendly, but OM 5 is nice looking but slow and never works as it claims and should.

i like Bolt page layout better than OM, but sometimes pages wont load in BOLT, and i have to try a few times before it does. and sometimes you cannot back out of a popup without exiting the app..
its kind of buggy like that |

From BOLT Browser's official Facebook fan page:
Today we released a new update: version 2.11. This release includes important updates that address server response times which eliminates the problem on some websites that has caused BOLT to hang at 20 percent on the progress bar, as well as improves Twitter use. Although there are no new features in this release, we strongly recommend all users update to this new version for an improved mobile browsing experience.

I think the UI is not user friendly. The browser and UI share the same settings, eg. when you increase the font size, menu font size increases too. It reloads every page after changing a setting. Some links wont respond instantly.
But it loads pages pretty fast and seems to be data efficient too.

Full Stream Ahead as
BOLT Delivers Support
for HTML5 Audio and
Video Streaming
BOLT 2.3 now available to OEMs and MNOs
looking to offer sacrifice-free browsing for a rich
Internet experience on the widest range of
handsets
SAN FRANCISCO and MARLBOROUGH, Mass.,
Oct. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Bitstream Inc. (Nasdaq:
BITS), creators of the award winning BOLT™
mobile browser, today announced the release of
BOLT 2.3, with a host of new features to
transform mobile phones of all types into
powerful Internet devices. BOLT 2.3 adds HTML5
audio streaming to complement the HTML5 video
streaming added in BOLT 2.1, and also includes
enhanced inline text editing, cloud-based backup
of customer's favorites and the addition of
Ustream.tv to the long international list of popular
Flash video sites supported by BOLT.
"With each new feature, from streaming audio
and video support to cloud-based back-up, BOLT
is delivering a better mobile Internet browsing
experience without barriers, which translates
directly to happier customers," said Anna
Magliocco-Chagnon, CEO of Bitstream. "BOLT's
advanced capabilities and customer-centric
feature set, give handset manufacturers who
deploy BOLT an edge when differentiating
themselves from competitors and provides
mobile network operators yet another way to

with the release of BOLT 2.3, audio streaming.
Some of the largest online content providers and
Web technology companies such as Google and
Apple are embracing the use of the HTML5
standard, eliminating the need for third party add-
ons, plug-ins and separate media players that
have often created obstacles for viewing and
listening to streaming media via the mobile Web.
BOLT's support of HTML5 allows handset
manufacturers and mobile network operators to
offer streaming media on the growing number of
website designed for new mobile computing
platforms such as the Apple iPad and Google

Web page forms without opening up a separate
text editing window.

favorites backup feature stores a user's
bookmarks on BOLT's servers, allowing them to
