The smartphone platform with highest number of web browser choices is Windows Mobile, which is good, considering that the default browser (Pocket Internet Explorer) doesn’t do a good job at bringing desktop-like rendering to your device.

That said, here are five Windows Mobile browsers that you can try right now, for free:

1. Skyfire…

Description: Uses sever-side rendering to push pre-formatted pages to your device quickly. Supports flash.

Works on: Touchscreen/non-touchscreen, all screen resolutions.

How to get: Point mobile browser to get.skyfire.com

2. Opera Mini…

Description: Like Skyfire, uses server-side rendering to push pre-formatted pages to your device quickly, but doesn’t support flash.

Works on: Touchscreen/non-touchscreen, all screen resolutions.

How to get: Opera website

See Opera Mini vs. Skyfire comparison video

3. Opera Mobile 9.5…
