Favorite mobile websites.

Ghoulish Delight · 11-22-2005, 01:50 PM

For the first time, we've got mobile internet. We've got 30 days to decide whether we want to keep it or not. So, to help justify it, we're looking for useful sites that we'd actually utilize.

Some that we've already found:

mobile.yahoo.com
mobile.google.com (including the very useful downloadable google local)
mobile.fandango.com
mobile.movietickets.com

Anyone know any other good ones? Keep in mind, we've got pretty small screens, so it's imperative that they are sites where they've taken the time to create a mobile-optimized version, not just slapped the "detect mobile browser" code on and squeezed the page down some unuseable form.

Actually, now that you mention it, I plan on installing a plugin that will make the LoT semi-useable via mobile phone browsers.

The one time I tried the LoT on my cell phone, it took a couple of minutes to load a page.

I usually just use the yahoo site on my phone. I get alot of sites on my axim, but I like how google works on it best. It sizes to the correct size for the screen. All the other sites I have to scroll around slightly....it's not that bad...just a pita sometimes..

Sigh.

I have a serious love hate relationship with Google.

I've found Google's sites problematic on my phone. I'm sticking with Yahoo when I can. First time I've ever found Google lacking.
