I had no idea but the board is functional from a mobile cell phone browser. I am in my car (not driving) as I post this.
I had seen some post in the past about reading the board from a smart phone and tried it from my old phone but it just not quite there yet.
I just got a Sprint Blackberry Curve (free with two year contract) and viewing the site with the browser that came with the phone was a little funky too.
...But after downloading the Opera mini browser I was amazed. Operamini.com
Opera is pretty close to iphone browsing.
The Microsoft browser is no good for sites that that are not specifically optimized for cell phones.
Can read articles and all that too. Comes in real handy when standing in line etc.
You can look at board as it appears on your computer and zoom in and then the text is put in a collum? so you don't have to scroll left and right.
After a week I am still amazed!
The Sprint Telenav GPS is also amazing. Very easy to use and very powerful. You can phone in an address where you want to go and it puts it on the map.
I have been looking at smart phones for several years but they never inpressed me. This Blackberry Curve is truely impressive. There is a one to two week learning curve as you use it but basically you can make calls, get mail,use gps, browse the web right out of the store.
I first bought an HTC touch screen but could not hardly make a call on it plus I was accidently calling an assortment of folks my address book accidently at odd hours like midnight.
Here is my take after pretty extensive research:
Sprint cheapest provider.
Verizon best coverage but you pay for it.
Iphone best browser and easiest to use if you like typing on a touch screen. I can't handle it plus I am proud of the fact that I have never bought any thing from apple. Thirty bucks more a month.
Palm treo with windows 6.1 has familiar windows interface and got great reviews but everyone at the sprint store said "do not buy it" basically they would not sell it to me. Doesn't quite add up. Maybe all the cards were not on the table.
Blackberry curve
Fits in your pocket.
Buttons-no touch screen.
Free at least when I got mine.
Great screen.
Easy to use.
My quess is black berry and apple will be the leaders but who knows.
I wanted windows operating but all things considered learning the blackberry operating sysyem is worth it.
Be careful the are addictive and appropriately called "crackberrys"
That's my story and I'm stickin to it.
