As above, never done it before. Just thought I'd see if it would work for future reference. :)

Ooo! it worked ;D
Congratulations, Ted. Unlike Simon, you didn't make a single spelling or smiley mistake. :evil:

HaHa! Been meaning to try it since all the BT outages, just for information really. You know, when you sit here and think "is it just me" :dunno:
It was pretty easy really and surprisingly quick. I'm using a Blackberry 8700g with upgraded firmware (of course) and Opera mini, no contract, just PAYG.
If you use the wap interface, Ted, it won't consume so much data. Just add ;wap2 to the end of the URL. :)

Thanks, Simon. I borrowed this http://www.idnetters.co.uk/forums/index.php?wap2 from the outages thread.
Sorry to be thick but can you use the ;wap2 at the end of all urls, would it be http://www.google.com;wap2 ?
It depends whether the site supports wap, I believe, Ted.

And you know it supports wap... because?
What Rik said, but usually no. I have the unread posts link bookmarked, and enter the forum that way:

Ok Simon, Thanks. I don't plan on doing too much on the phone, but good to have an emergency backup. :thumb:
With some sites, you can use m. instead of www. to get their mobile interface, eg, m.crackberry.com or m.marksandspencer.com.
didn't get it on my phone. ;D
think Google's WAP site is wap.google.com
Google use to (may still) automatically use their servers as a proxy to give you a converted mobile version of every site. I cannot remember how to set it up though. It may be automatic when it detects what browser you are using to search google.. However I tend to prefer the HTML versions as the wap ones are horrid.
Especially the forum. :)

Oy! Your suppose to promote the forum. ;)
(Good to see you don't promote things that don't work too well. Not that Wap does not work, it's just most phones are more advanced now. It will be a lifesaver for some though, so bad looks aside, it's still useful!)
I use the wap interface here all the time. It's plain, but I wouldn't say it's horrible, and it saves all that pinching and zooming. The only time I go into the full site on my phone, is if I need to edit a post.
