    I don't. I don't think I even have Internet access on my phone.

    I have in the past, but don't usually, simply because I find it much easier to just wait until I can clearly read everything at home. Like I can read everything clearly, but it's sooo much easier when you can read on a laptop screen...I use an iPhone btw

    I don't. I refuse to pay for all the extras on the phone when I have a perfectly good computer.

    Yeah with my old phone I only did once in a while but didn't that much because zooming in and out of pages was annoying as hell.. But the other day I got a new phone and the screen iss o high-res I can read everything clearly without having to zoom in or anything.

    EC - Perfect for keeping yourself entertained on public transport. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Though the chatroom crashes its browser which is kinda a bummer..

    The chatroom uses Flash which I guess mobile browsers don't support? It's a resource hog on Windows so maybe mobile phones don't have enough memory to cope with it even if they do support Flash?

    I have tried accessing EC from my mobile (Nokia N82) a couple of times when in pubs which have free wireless internet (my phone has wireless access) and although it works OK I found the navigation tedious and scrolling from side to side to read things annoying. Also typing messages text-style is time-consuming if I want to say more than one or two sentences.

    What phone have you got now, George? It sounds good!

    Windows Mobile 6 supports flash. Watching youtube (desktop version) is quite nice, but large flash files (eg flash chatroom) kill even the best devices.

    Navigating on touchscreen devices is a lot better than those that use mechanical input simply for the tediousness using a navpad or joystick is. Plus for text input mine has a QWERTY keyboard so it's very nice lol.

    I currently have a Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1a.. I love it to death lol.

    I used to, but my access stopped working randomly a few weeks and I have been suffering. I put yes though, because I'm getting a job so I can pay for it whereas before it was just there. Yea, it was wierd.

    Some mobile deals include internet access free for a couple of months as a trial thing then you have to start paying if you want to continue with it. Maybe that's what you had, perhaps without realising?

    I pay $10 a month on top of my phone plan for a measly 150MB. :frowning2:

    Thankfully I'm in range of wi-fi a lot of the time.

    Australia isn't good for data lol.

    Nope, it lasted for a year. I called at&t and they said I wasn't even set up for picture messaging.
