Right now I use mobile.alaskaair.com to help me check flight status on AS. I'm wondering if there are any other wap sites out there that will better help me with flight status for other airlines?
http://wireless.nwa.com
http://wap.oa.yahoo.com/ -> Main yahoo site with links to weather,movies,mail etc
http://wap.sportsline.com -> espn gets hammered a lot so cbs is much faster for scores.
http://wireless.mapquest.com/wml/ -> wap mapquest
http://www.superpages.com/ -> Very very handy (yes its wap also)
http://wap.hollywood.com/#TimesTixZip -> Movie timings
A very cool thing to do is open an account on tagtag. ( www.tagtag.com) and create your own wap page where you add all your favorite wap links.
so on your phone you basically access www.tagtag.com/mywebpage and access all these cool wap sites by just browsing so you dont have to type anything after you have created your links.

I could not get a specific plane's graphics page to show, on my BlackBerry. I could drill down to the page before it (i.e. United 757 P.S.).
In reality I wouldn't have expected any graphics to show on my hacked BB 3.7 browser. However I would surmise that an html implemented BB 4.0 browser would show the graphics.

It works great on my Dell Axim PDA, even when connecting over GPRS.
From the seatguru website:
Have you ever wanted to switch your seat at the airport or wanted to know what in-flight services would be available on your flight, but weren't near a computer to access SeatGuru.com? With the launch of Mobile SeatGuru you'll be able to access content from SeatGuru.com - wherever you are!
Mobile SeatGuru is a version of the website that is optimized for handheld devices. This new version of the site simply requires a device with an HTML capable browser such as the popular BlackBerry 7000 series, TREO, Dell Axim, HP iPAQ, or various advanced mobile phones. This service is free! Just visit the following website from your PDA: http://mobile.SeatGuru.com
Though you'll still need to visit the site for the full breadth of seat comments, Mobile SeatGuru includes the following features to help travelers on the go:
*Coverage of 23 domestic and international airline carriers and 200 aircraft.
*Seat map graphics with color-coding.
*Seat Pitch and Width measurements.
*In-flight entertainment and Power Port availability.
*Location of Power Ports and adapter type.
The Mobile SeatGuru version covers all the domestic and international airlines found on SeatGuru.com and will be updated to reflect any changes that are made to the SeatGuru.com site to ensure that the information provided is always current and accurate.
We welcome any feedback or questions you may have about this new service: help@seatguru.com. As we receive a high volume of emails, please be patient if you require an answer from the Helpdesk.
Stretch your legs, recline and enjoy!

like Craig6z, i can drill down to the various aircraft links but my issue is that i get an error message saying the graphics are too large to draw for the individual a/c. i guess that's what i get for having a phone w/not enough memory (nokia 6200).......

It includes links to the best travel wap sites, and is a one-stop shop for all the major airlines’ wap sites (as discussed on this thread). And, by focusing just on travel info, you can get what you want, when you want it.
So, for lots of travel information (including some must-have phone numbers), bookmark on your phone http://tagtag.com/gowithrob
I’d also like you to tell me what YOU want. It’s your wap site and it's ready to grow, so please email your comments and/or suggestions to Rob at hl007a8624@blueyonder.co.uk
"Before you check in, check out Go With Rob!"
(Please note that Go With Rob is currently in a beta stage of development and therefore includes tagtag advertising. It is free to access and use during this trial stage, however operator charges may still apply.)

My company as part of its divestiture from a Fortune 200 parent, recently outsourced their BlackBerry Enterprise server and Lotus Notes email hosting. As part of this process, all BB users had to re-format and re-activate their devices.
Well this was like a magic event for my 7290. Suddenly I can access multiples more websites then under the old server structure, and the graphics are far improved ^ . While FT worked OK previously, now it looks better and runs faster. Most other sites I visited before and now, are way better from a graphics and speed standpoint. I have a sneaky feeling our old parent company had dumbed down our BlackBerry service, for their own self-centered reasons.
P.S. Of course United's horrid WAP site is still as useless is in the past :td: .
Does anybody have a good phone directory site? I don't want to cough up a buck to call information.

Feel free to check my mobile site pocketvip.com (http://pocketvip.com). I have a bunch of good travel links posted on the main page and many more on the mobile forum.
My site will run on most current phones but is optimized for smartphones and PDA type phones.

FlightStats.com has a great mobile site at http://www.flightstats.com/go/Mobile/?
I put up my own WAP page with some quick links that I link to use (Seatguru, 4info, etc). Feel free to use it (just links, no ads): http://mobile.watterud.com

as little tip for those using operamini on their cell phone. wap addresses work and are also more user friendly under operamini. granted it's still a wap site but the operamini scroll functions (page up/down, etc) make it that much easier.

Shortcut: For currency conversion in Google, you can enter 258gbp[Enter] (to dollars) or 263eur in gbp[Enter].
My favorite site is http://fancyapint.mobi, which will locate a UK pub by any of a number of criteria.

It's basically a directory of mobile sites (very colorful!):cool:. The travel category has many good wap sites listed.

In addition to mobile.flightstats.com, you can get FlightStats flight status information from other sources as well. You can enter your flight number into the "one search" box on m.yahoo.com. You can do the same on mobile.google.com. You can text your flight number to 466453 (Google) and get your flight status back as a text message in a few seconds. You can also just dial up 1-800-flights to access a really great voice automation system. All will give you FlightStats data.

Sorry if this was answered before but I perused the 8 pages of this thread and didn't find an answer.
Does anyone have a flight availability page that works well on the Blackberry? I've never gotten publicbackup.availability.com to work - it always errors out.
If you want to PM me, that's OK too.
Thanks!

Did you try m.milkmore.com? In their Travel category they have sub-category called Air Travel which lists all mobile airline sites and other flight checking sites...I think it's as good as it gets at this point.
Hope this helps.

Hope this helps. This isn't bad at all but there are some errors in the code which mess up the display of a some pages, at least on the iPhone. BUT it does say Milkmore-Beta (http://www.milkmore.com/mob/category?category=78) at the top of the home page.:)

www.kayak.com on the WAP browser brings up a great airline price search page - i've always been looking for something like this and Kayak seems to have done well. Just wanted to add this to the list!

I was in an airport during a blizzard the other day and wanted to rent a car immediately. Rather than walk up to every car rental desk in search of the best deal I wanted to find the best deal online so from my Motorola Q phone I tried to access a mobile site for Travelocity - I found their rudimentary site but I didn't see a feature that would actually let me make a reservation , I then tried Orbitz and finally Expedia and still no luck. Anyone know of a good mobile link for any/all of the above?

Too bad www.johnnyjet.com doesn't have a mobile version, he's got a great collection of links. It used to be nice and clean with nicelt categorized links, recently it's gotten some clutter, newsletter archives, blogs, latest news, ...

I'm disappointed no one has listed a site to look up the lowest gas prices in a given area.
How about http://www.gasbuddytogo.com, it's a mobile version of gasbuddy.com, or your local variation with a city or state in the URL, www.phillygasprices.com, www.pennsylvaniagasprices.com.
MSN Autos has a mapped price listing (http://autos.msn.com/everyday/GasStations.aspx?m=1&l=1&zip=00001&x=12&y=7), but no mobile version that I can see. Same for MapQuest, they have a regular version (http://gasprices.mapquest.com/) but no mobile version. Any price listing using Google's Maps seem to be abandoned, wish someone had that for mobile usage.
Edit: Update, MapQuest does have a gas price look up, go to main www.MapQuest.com site on mobile device, server switches you to mobile version, and they have a link to gas price look up.

The Drudge Report at www.idrudgereport.com.
Unfortunately the links, which are the raison d'être, are usually not mobile friendly, but there is a list of national and int'l newspapers with mobile sites listed the bottom.

Here's some I have down. I haven't verified lately, so some may be out of date. I've tried to delete dups with above:
Has anyone been successful accessing the British Airways site on their Blackberry ? I have tried the above suggestion but without success. Also tried a few variations on some of the above, but again with limited success.
Any pointers ?

Great thread. ^
Here is what i have setup for my tagtag.
http://wireless.nwa.com
http://wap.oa.yahoo.com/ -> Main yahoo site with links to weather,movies,mail etc
http://wap.sportsline.com -> espn gets hammered a lot so cbs is much faster for scores.
http://wireless.mapquest.com/wml/ -> wap mapquest
http://www.superpages.com/ -> Very very handy (yes its wap also)
http://wap.hollywood.com/#TimesTixZip -> Movie timings
A very cool thing to do is open an account on tagtag. ( www.tagtag.com) and create your own wap page where you add all your favorite wap links.
so on your phone you basically access www.tagtag.com/mywebpage and access all these cool wap sites by just browsing so you dont have to type anything after you have created your links.
Thanks for the good tip. Will make life easier for me :)

Very basic question here...
How is a WAP site different than just using the broswer on
my Blackberry Curve?
Does it bring up the same info just thru a different entry point?
What is the advantage of using WAP?
thanks!
