I am having difficulty responding to threads through my recently acquired mobile phone.

I mentioned this in another thread here .....

Which browser are you using? I'm replying here using Opera Mini
Chris

I am using the Internet browser that comes with "windows mobile", this is the "pocket PC version".

From your response Chris I am assuming that you can successfully post from your phone using Opera Mini?

hi Tony

Yes from my experience I can do everything on my PDA that I would do normally on a PC with regards to this site. Actually I don't ever think I've hit a problem with any site yet.

I'm using Windows Mobile 6 on a HTC Kaiser pocket PC/phone. Windows Explorer that came with Windows Mobile never really worked for me. The websites looked dreadful/messed-up and often the buttons/links/scripts would not work properly.

Using Opera Mini the web site looks as it would normally (I switch the view to normal rather than mobile which means I see the page or at least a section of the page as it should be). I can zoom in/out and scroll around the screen easily. This is great because for big pages you zoom out, scroll to the area of the page you want to view and zoom in. It works well to overcome the limitations of the screen resolution.

All the buttons, scripts etc work normally. Video streaming works fine. In the year or so I've been using Opera Mini I've been very happy with it. I haven't tried other browsers (other than explorer).

Also, it's free

Thanks Chris,

I will give it a try, free I like!
