Bolt: lightning fast mobile browser for BlackBerry and virtually any phone (even older, outdated models)

We recently reported on Teashark and Skyfire as two important browsers to enhance the mobile web experince of those who are not iPhone or Pre owners. However, one common limitation they have (at least for now) is the fact that both are not available for the BlackBerry. Bitstream's Bolt comes to bridge this gap.

If you are a BlackBerry users, you certaily know how slow the default browser is and how pages don't look good at all. If you watch the video above, you'll probably run to install Bolt right away. Based on WebKit, this browser offers a pretty decent experience (including media streaming) on a much faster loading time (Bitstream says: "[Bolt] Routinely loads pages at least 25%-50% faster than competing mobile browsers").

As for older phones, the announcement on Bolt Beta 3 says:

In this Beta3 release, we have an additional lightweight version also available, BOLT lite that has been optimized to install and run on entry-level mobile devices with limited memory and system resources. This lightweight version retains most of BOLT's feature set. Although some of BOLT's functionality is not included in the lite version, BOLT's blazing fast download speed and PC-style layout are retained – offering fast, full-featured desktop style browsing to an even wider range of devices.
