Hotmail and Netfront on an NX?

[clie_wannabe]

i may not be sure about this, but does it seem that whenever one uses Netfront to view hotmail; nothing happens after you press the "sign-in" button... though, ive tried different settings with either Netfront or Hotmail, i cannot seem to read my hotmail mesgs with my NX...

if there is anybody out there that may have found a solution, id really appreciate it if you could teach me how...

thanks...

none of the .net services seem to work on the netfront browser. (maybe its microsoft's little way to give pocketpc a nod? :D)

When I had Hotmail, all I got was spam from every porno site in the world.

So true Larry.  I've had the same hotmail account for something like 10 years now.  These days I have to check it 2-3 times a day just to clear out the crap or I'll go over my file size limit...  

Wannabe...  I tried hittin Hotmail with Netfront, it won't work bud.  Don't frustrate yourself.  Blazer can hit it fine and you can use it from the MS and free up 2megs by putting netfront where it belongs...  in the trash bin!!!

The wierd thing is, I hated netfront at first, but I set the cache to "none" and the more I use it, the faster it gets. I opened up www.msnbc.com for the first time today on netfront and it loaded the whole site in 3 seconds.

Ive been using netfront regularly now and have grown to love it. Sure it needs work, but i think its the best Palm based browser on the market so far. Can't wait to see updates on it.

Interesting LightNinja, I as well as many others, took the opposite approach and bumped the Cache way up.  It was a pig.  If it didn't suck up 2 out of 11 megs of RAM I just might try your solution and give it a try again...

Gopherking.... thats how i get my hotmail on my nx, i was skeptical at first, but its really a good product... you can try it free for 30 days and its alot faster than hotmail too :)

The only reason i set the cache to none is so I wouldnt get the "cache is full" error. Now I never get that error. All images/docs are redownloaded everytime I visit a page, but most of the time its quick anyways. I do get the "page too large to be displayed" once in a while, but only on huge websites with lots of images.

I also think sites with lots of embedded tables in the html (poorly developed sites) take a lot of time for netfront to display. If you turn off "tables", "javascript", and/or "css" in the options menu, the sites load up very fast and you get less page errors. And blazer doesn't seem to render pages with the correct table/css attributes anyways so turning them off in netfront is almost like blazer.

But if hotmail is important for you (or any .NET service for that matter) then I guess netfront wont work for you.
