The QWERTY shortcuts did work on the WV400.Īll the pages I tried loaded without error except for the mobile version of Twitter which frequently threw the infamous “403 Forbidden (Rate Limit Exceeded)” error just like it has in every version of the UC Browser for over a year. I ended up locking the keyboard in Alt mode and uing the 9 key non-QWERTY shortcuts instead. On the Asha, none of the QWERTY keyboard shortcuts, except space for page down, worked. Navigation on the touchscreen devices was somewhat hampered by menus that weren’t very finger friendly (image above, left). Page loads were snappy, bookmark backup and restore, which is buggy in the Symbian version of 8.4, worked quickly and correctly. The browser installed and ran with no real issues on any of the phones. I tested UC 8.4 on three phones a Motorola WX400 Rambler basic QWERTY feature phone, a Nokia Asha 303 touchscreen QWERTY and a pure touch Samsung S8500 running bada 1.0. There’s a new “Phone” option in the “Tools” menu that lets you make a phone call or send a text from within the browser.The link to browsing history has been moved from the bottom of the browser Start screen to the top of the bookmarks page.

So 8.4 is basically 8.3 minus the bugs.Ĩ.4 incorporates the following features that were added in 8.3: By convention even numbered point releases of UC such as 8.4 are “stable” releases that contain few or no new features while odd numbered versions like 8.3 are “new feature” releases. UC Mobile LTD quietly released a new version of the UC Browser for Java ME a couple of days ago.
