so i use at&t mMode on my t-68i. at&t did a good job with the portal and links, they're optimized for quick wap access. but when i connect with my clie nr70v with a ms, i use avantgo and go to a lot of sites that take a while to load and are not optimized for the screen size.

i talked to the at&t guys and they said they don't provide the mMode portal through a url even for their own pocket pc devices or palm tungsten t and didn't know of a url to get to it. i can look up some of the individually, but that's a pain....

so what wap portal do you use that work well on a clie screen for the usual news/weather/sports/travel/entertainment type quick hit content on the go?

also any browsers recommended for palm os 4 other than avantgo?

Excellent link. Thanks! (Although the Yahoo! link doesn't work) I heard that was a NetFront issue though.

Yes, Netfront and Yahoo don't mix. Other browsers have no problem with it. And so each product has its strengths and drawbacks...

PvV thanks for the link, BTW it liks to PlinkIT at the bottom.

Is there a domain for http://209.221.153.18/smallsites/ avantgo won't add it as a bookmark with an ip address?

Netfront works with www.yahoo.com just fine for me.

It just doesn't work with the wap version of yahoo.

Yes, the full version of Yahoo works with NetFront. But who wants to wait to download the full site over a WAP connection. It'd be nice if the site (including yahoo mail) would work in Netfront.
