5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
A ‘private beta’ of Skyfire has been announced, but so far, only US citizens with a US mobile phone number can sign up to the service. Skyfire are only covering the US at this stage, and only for Windows Mobile 5 and 6 smartphones. A version for Symbian phones (Nokia, Sony Ericsson and others) is due ‘in the next few months’, and ‘other geographical regions’ besides the US are due in that timeframe, too, although by then we will have seen just how well, or otherwise, Skyfire fares with US consumers.
