Update: The alpha version of SkyFire that was leaked has been disabled
SkyFire, the third party BlackBerry web browser that available only to those in the closed alpha, has been leaked. I can’t tell you if an how the leaked version works as I haven’t had a chance to download and play around with it myself, however, if you want to get your hands on a leaked version of the mobile web browser that was a Peoples Voice Winner at the 2009 Weblog Awards you can download SkyFire for BlackBerry OTA to your device at the following link:

It looks like Bla1ze over at CrackBerry.com got his hands on an alpha release of the Skyfire for BlackBerry mobile internet browser. All I know is that if Skyfire for BlackBerry can do for the BlackBerry what it did for Windows Mobile devices and Nokia smartphones, browsing the internet on a BlackBerry will no longer take a backseat to the likes of the iPhone, Android devices, the Palm Pre, and pretty much every other smartphone built in the last two years.

SkyFire for BlackBerry Alpha 2 has just been released in a closed beta (Alpha) and from what we are hearing, it will be the best web browser for the BlackBerry bar none once it is released.
I cannot wait until I can get my hands on this. Let’s hope a public beta comes around soon…
