About five minutes ago, when I opened the Bolt browser and was trying to reach my favourite SF Signal site, instead of the SF Signal there appeared a short statement* saying that owing to economic situation the free BOLT browser service had to be discontinued. And there were also thanks for constant support.
In other words, the reliable Bolt is dead, and that's the very bad news indeed. Where Opera Mini and/or UCBrowser failed there Bolt used to be a browser to rely on.
It's a loss. A great loss for all users of Java-based oldie mobiles.
First, Quasar Dragon announced The End of its activitity, now there's Bolt. Who or what is next? Oh yes, Opera Messages where I could SEE that I got a message... Sad.

* BOLT
Dear BOLT User, the free BOLT mobile browsing service has been discontinued. Unfortunately, the economic circumstances prevented us from running a free service going forward. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your loyalty and support.

The ever excellent SF Signal posted a most interesting group of lists by such people as Jessica Strider, Charles Tan, Patrick Hester and many others, who responded and gave their opinion on their favourite SF/F media 'consumed' during this year. Compare your lists with theirs, the post published yesterday is here.
Part two, added on 2 December, is then right here.
To make it a bit more confusing, today, Wednesday, 7 December 2011, appeared a new follow-up post, called Part I.
Postscript: Thursday, 15 December 2011. Today, SF Signal posted the new Part II (of II).
