Have you tried it yet? I am currently accessing the full desktop version of the KW forums from my Sprint pocket PC/cell phone, which is like a mini computer and phone w/a slide out keyboard and a touch screen that I can pull up a keyboard on, to type w/a stylus. I know your Blackberry has that feature and I know they have full web access(the one I looked at did.) because I looked at one and thought of getting one until I learned about the extra fee they charge you that is not your cell company's charge.

You shouldn't need a mobile version of the forums if you've got a browser and full web access on your Blackberry. But, you never know for sure until you try.

Heck, you can even access this site from a regular cell phone. But, I wouldn't recommend using a plain cell phone to do that. I've done it, and the only thing you can do is read the forum and it's a HUGE pain as well, to browse on a plain cell phone. It's text only and very ornery, too. Lots of hoops to go through to get to the thing or forum you want to read. At least, that was my exprience.

Well, I hope that helps, and I hope you don't go crazy from having to type posts on your Blackberry... :D You'll get sick of it, I promise you... hehehe... :D Heh, now Kenzan-san will have another person to tease... :D

Oh, and foundinsea-san,
I tried to leave a visitor message for you since my inbox is full(and will stay that way until I get a new PC so I can reply to people's pm's I've still got.), but it seems you have it disabled. I just wanted to thank you for the rep you gave me. :)

Hi Kaoru

Yeah I tried it but it doesn't render very well on blackberry and on top of that the links to the actual messages don't work. A wap version would display perfectly and be a lot easier to navigate not just for the blackberry but also for mobile phones.

And you're welcome ^^

try installing opera on your blackberry and running it from there. opera is the best mobile browser ive seen, its brilliant. if youre getting charged by the kb i'd suggest you deactivate images too, theres an option.

I feel your pain.
Previous handhelds made surfing KW an exercise in
retard-oltry.
The BBerry storm (which doubles as a Kaoru-certified Pocket PC) renders the site perfectly now...albeit tiny..
I think at this point, it's not so much about the Wappage.

I browse KWF on my Nokia N95-4 using Opera, and it's fine. Small, of course, but fine.
