So, many times when I'm bored, I pull out my Blackberry and surf the net (like I am currently doing). I think a mobile phone friendly cB would be very awesome! Is there anyway we can do that?

I have a regular crappy, old phone and the boards somewhat show up. Everything's scrunched together. I've never logged in or anything on my phone, but I've tried it out to see what it looks like. I guess if you're really addicted to the forums

I'm not really sure how sites can make mobile-friendly versions and how the phone would recognize enough to redirect to the mobile-friendly versions, but if anyone can propose a method, I would be all for it.

Many websites have mobile friendly sites. Facebook, Google, BlackberryForums, etc. I'm not sure how they work, lol.
Whoever is in charge of forums here and would like to pursue this idea should probably check out the site mentioned above somewhere: http://www.w3schools.com/wap/wap_intro.asp If this does happen, I'm excited :) |

And, as large as a forum cB is, I'm assuming that sites have to be humungous to be mobile-friendly. |

Actually... I think BlackberryForums is much less popular than cB! |

Well, I'm sure there's a reason that BlackberryForums can be accessed via a Blackberry, regardless of popularity.
 And I guess Ishould put up my disclaimer now, but here it is: I know very little about mobivle interent access. So everyhing I'msaying about the subject is something I'm either assuming or being a total ignoramus about.

ACTUALLY, the cB Lo-Fi version might be a great starter layout for a mobile friendly site :]
I am going to check it out right now. *a few mins later* It actually looks very good on my Blackberry. There are definitely a few things that could be added, like who the last post was by, etc. But it's more mobile friendly for sure. Er... Edit. I just realized you have to use the regular forums to reply x_x |

This would be such a great idea. I can't help but think that it would be similar to the text version, though.

It would just need a little more 'complicated things ' or whatever you call it. Like the ability to add replies (haha) and see who posted last. |

I used to use cB on my cell phone. I just changed my board settings to not display avatars, signatures, or images.

I have an enV, and well when I check the forums I can't view topics because theres wayyyy to much content.
CB friendly forums would be nice.

Wow, like Facebook Mobile.
 I dunno, if there are any hardcore cB lovers who wanted to post on it from their phones, it'd be cool. But I wouldn't be affected much either way since I don't use my phone for Internet access. |

^ On my phone it actually looks very weird. And of course, the css doesn't work on my phone or maybe all phones in general I don't know either way it's rather... well er... ugly.

I use the Lo-Fi version, but I still have to revert back to the normal if I want to respond or anything. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE COME OUT WITH CB MOBILE! T_T Mayhaps it can be the new project after CB4 is complete?
