The last time I mentioned BOLT Browser was back in early April. Since then it seems like Bitstream has been working hard with the release of their new BOLT Browser Beta 3, now faster with improvements on existing features.

New Bolt Browser features:

• Copy and paste text
• Enter and edit text directly within online text boxes
• Upload files such as videos to YouTube or pictures to Photobucket
• Order favorites and arrange them into custom folders
• Toggle between viewing websites with or without images displayed

Bolt Browser enhancements:

• Rendering bold, italics, superscript and other rich text styles
• Enhanced rendering of complex web pages
• Faster page rendering
• Servers upgraded to WebKit 4

Bitstream has also launched a forum where you can post questions and support issues.

BOLT and BOLT lite are available for free to anyone as part of Bitstream’s public beta test. If you already have BOLT Browser you will be prompted to update the next time you load a webpage. If you don’t have it yet visit boltbrowser.com/download to have a download link sent to your BlackBerry.
