As a Skyfire user - I don't like it. Browsing a page takes too long. Its potentially useful to have installed if you have the need to see the web page as it would look in a regular browser - but on a mobile device, we just don't have the consistent network speeds to make it a viable alternative to "mobilized" content.
Yep, even over a very good connection with HSDPA its pushing its luck. And how consistently do you get that? Is it my phone (an AT&T Tilt, running WM6.1) ? Maybe. I wouldnt discount anything at this point.
