Topic: Mobile internet

[axehole54]

Just to let anyone who doesn't know this site works great on even a terrible cell phone i have an unlimited mobile internet plan for 10 bucks a month on a non-smart phone and am really happy with the performance:) pictures don't really load though lol

It sure does!  I've used my Palm to surf this forum many times.  In fact when my desktop computer got a really bad virus a while back I used the Palm exclusively to PM back and forth with Mlinder from this site while he helped me get it cleaned up and running again.

Watch your provider though. At&t is getting rid of unlimited data plans and verizon might do the same thing. Guessing others will follow suit.

I have a feeling there will be at least one hold-out who will continue to offer an unlimited plan so they can get all the former, pissed off AT&T customers.  Then the other companies who dropped that option will have to backpedal to try to remain competitive.

Entirely possible and something to hope for.

I could be wrong, but I think the only reason AT&T can get away with it for now is because of their exclusive deal with Apple for the iPhone.  Other non-iPhone customers probably won't stand for it.

Apparently verizon is supposed to be getting access to the next iphone or something like that.

Where i'm from if you got a phone with a sim card it doesn't work most places so no iphone for me

When I had my BB Curve 8320 it displayed this website as a text based list of folders and topics.  No pics, but loaded very fast and worked pretty well.
Now with the M.Droid and Verizon 3G it's a fully rendered webstyle display, just smaller. 
Honestly, with the BB it was easier to browse topics and read the texts, with the Droid there's a lot of pinch zooming and sliding the page around since it doesn't 'fit' all the text within the confines of the screen.
Other than that though, no contest, Droid is better.

Axehole, and the rest of you youngin's.  Sure, these phones are fine for you.  You can see them.  I can barely see the net book I have.

I'm no young'n  but acquired a Palm Pre+ about a month ago, first "smart phone." I find it's pretty easy to navigate once you're use to the phone's interface. The WebOS is pretty impressive. The browser renders everything quite accurately. I never thoight I could adjust to something like this, I was wrong.

You're an exception to the rule, Bob, as are my parents. 

My wife's parents, on the other hand, have to call us so we can tell them how to open their email so they can see the pictures of our children that we sent them.
