After only two weeks of being introduced in the market, BOLT has amassed 150,000 subscribers. BOLT, the web browser for mobile phones of all types, surpassed 150,000 active users. Early feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with beta users contributing valuable insights which have led to important updates.

The BOLT public beta was announced on Monday, February 16 from the floor of Mobile World Congress. Six days later the mobile browser was being enjoyed by more than 150,000 active users around the world.

Here is what some of the early users are saying about the BOLT beta:

  • “Even in beta the BOLT browser is better than Opera in every way.”
  • “Works phenomenally on my Bold; RIM could learn a thing or two from Bitstream.”
  • “Wow, I own an 8350i, and we cannot watch streaming videos or YouTube. But with the BOLT Browser it downloads it then plays the saved file. WOW! This is a miracle…Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!”
  • “All I can say is DAMN! This thing is fast.”
  • “BOLT makes Opera Mini look like Netscape from 1997 on a dialup connection LOL.”
  • “Wow. I am VERY impressed. Running this on my 8330 on Verizon. It blows away the Blackberry Browser AND Opera mini in terms of rendering time. I cannot believe how much faster it is.”
