...that this forum is now mobile phone-friendly? If the old one was, I sure didn't see it.

I noticed it on my Blackberry after the upgrade, and was very pleased. I've made a few posts from it here and there with no problems.

Oh, if we're talking about those numbers that imply that every single Nokia customer is going to stick with them when they switch to making WP7 phones, yeah, they're higher than a kite.

That said, I'm pretty happy with mine, though the difference in customizability between it and Android has been a bit of a culture shock for me. But the responsiveness of the OS more than makes up for it. There's a *lot* of potential in there, enough for me to figure it's worth a year of playing around to see if it's realized.

I have mobile web on my Samsung T401g, and I always accessed the board with no problem. :-)

The mobile site for Android isn't bad, but has its imperfections. The one that sticks out in my mind is the lack of a "Mark this forum read" button. There is a "Mark ALL forums read" button, but nothing for individual forums that I can see.

I've got a WP7 too, and I'm really hoping that they become serious players. The OS is great (really liking the live tiles), but they've got some catching up to do in the app store; that nowadays, is where it counts. But yeah, there's more than enough potential in that system...they just need people to develop for it.

Well, for what it's worth (extremely little, considering my track record of finishing programming projects), I've been noodling around with porting my Jeopardy Challenger app over to it. (At the minimum I have what I think is a passable interface.) It's way easier for me to write for WP7 considering I've already used Visual Studio before.

(Wait, so your WP7 phone is getting the mobile version of this site? Which one do you have?)
