    Ha this is awesome. I will be making a mobi skin this week that's a lot less intense and easier on the mobile guys.

    Thank you! I post quite a bit from my phone when I'm on break, or in a waiting room... stuff like that.
    Which phone did you get? I have the Blackberry Pearl

    Edit: It looks like they do have service up here. something something iPhone on ATT only something something

    Any phone I get that I will want to transfer files to and from has to be Mac compatible. I don't use a Windows computer much anymore.

    My Apple fanboy inside is pulling me toward an iPhone, but not till I can get the 4GB model for $299 or less.

    If I find a phone that will do what I want and its less than $299 then I will consider it.

    Alright, I am currently working on this:

    (1) A .mobi theme, thats low in size and quick to load
    (2) When you login to the forum via your mobile device, the forum detects that you are using a mobile device and switches you to the mobile theme.

    no, just wrxatlanta.com/forums

    as I said, it should auto detect a mobile device and move you to the new theme

    very nice, i'ld love to see a more mobi friendly theme, I have an 8703e for verizon. I love my bb. I am also a mac fan, but the iphone is a bit pricey and is lacking in too many features for now. the next gen of it will be tight if the first gen iphone even does well. maybe with a SSD drive that's bigger than a frickin nanos hd space. 8gb FTL. But i chose blackberry because I am a mac user, and the blackberry has a killer os that is... well... not windows, which is it's most attractive quality.

    If you browse the site now on your phone, clear your cookies / log out / log in, you should see a new theme.

    Also, another thing to consider with the initial release of the I-Phone is that it is not UMTS. The UMTS version will be released couple months later. I would wait until that release if you are serious about getting the I-Phone.

    They don't really lower the prices of anything, but it will get better. The keep the price the same and add improvements to it. Look at their whole line-up... Don't fear.

    All you PC lovers can bite my graphic designing ass! :rofl: I know I'm going to be a huge idiot and buy it ASAP. It'll look great sitting beside my 17" MacBook Pro.

    Alex, thanks for the mobi! Now I can blow up your inbox over rotas and brake pads from anywhere!

    Since we are talking internet and cell phone I have a question.

    Do any phones currently availible or going to be availible soon(excluding the iPhone) that can browse the full internet and not want or need mobile website versions?

    I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure my XV6700 (Verizon) can handle any site. (pocket pc with internet explorer)
