'Sleeper'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Hey Sean:
But if you're forced to look elsewhere around the Web while on a low-bandwidth connection, do yourself a favor and bookmark Google's Enter A URL page reformatting tool. Any URL you enter there will come out in a tight, handheld-friendly column without pictures, if you set it up that way. There's nothing faster and cheaper to load than a pared-down page--and it won't turn you into a Popeye if you look at it on a notebook.
Have you tried it with and without the www in front?
Yeah, I've tried it with the entire http ://www...., just the www.... and just typing in buffistas.org. None of them work. There might be helpful information on the Cingular website. I should check that out someday.

Feh. My phone browser won't load that page either.
Apparently there is a Java version of Opera that's designed to run on cell phones: [link]
Dunno how feasible this is....
Opera Mini site: [link]

That page is incredibly simple. Just text, a text box, button and check box. If your phone won't even load that....
Although that page is actually html inside xml, so maybe it's the xml that's the problem....
That's what I'm wondering. I think I'll try the Opera thing. That just might work.
That just might work.
It's so crazy it just might work!
They'll never expect it!
It's quiet... too quiet...
Sorry - I think my brain needs rebooting.
HA! I am now posting from my phone! The Opera browser works perfectly.
Yay!
ETA: So Sean, does that Opera browser have some server somewhere that compresses web pages before sending it to your phone?

Don't know. It displayed the graphics and everything. And the phone hasn't really had a problem displaying graphics, it just hasn't liked b.org (or Google). It seems like it's just a java program for my phone that can display html or whatever on the phone, much like the java reader for my gmail account.
It was interesting. When I was first setting up the browser after downloading and installing it, it had me create my own private encryption key by randomly pressing numbers or directional keys until it had a long enough key, so that the browsing would be completely secure.
