    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

    I would swap to yours but they have no signal up here where I live. :D Unless something has changed recently. Cingular/ATT actually works up here. No Matt, I am not moving. ;)

    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.

  23. Matt

    Matt Think before you post Staff Member Supporting Member

    wap.wrxatlanta.com ?
     
  26. Alex

    Alex Community Founder Staff Member

    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.

    would this work on pda's as well?

    FTZ ^.^

    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)

    The iPhone apparently is missing 1 feature I wanted...IM.

    Matt will know. Just need to wait for him to respond.
     
  46. Matt

    Matt Think before you post Staff Member Supporting Member

    yes, it can pretty much handle ANY site...except bellsouth.net

    those cingular fuckers don't like anyone else accessing their company's website

    :p
