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!
-The SeatGuru Staff

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).......

I now have a Blackberry running 4.0 (a model 7290). Still no joy.

Wonder if I need to implement some sort of browser hack on this model?

Since there's no free wi-fi at MHT, I decided to see if any of the availability tools work on my Nokia 6820 and the Optimal Move tool did - http://www.optimalmove.com/flyertalk/galileo.html - seeing that DL was Y0 made me be first in line to get a 200.00 bump yesterday. It takes a lot longer than it does otherwise and search dual connections made my cell phone freeze - however, single point-to-point connects (which you should be checking anyways) works fine.

If you're stuck somewhere for an hour, have a high-speed data service (2.5G or 3G) and an account with unlimited data access, check out http://www.zoovision.com/mobile.html. Old feature films, music videos, lots of stuff, all free. (A phone charger might be necessary.)

I came across this very interesting thread via Google and, as I'm a wap developer, was wondering how much interest there would be if I set up a wap site which included these links, plus other important travel/business wap sites. There are many great sites, but they're not easy to find! I'm happy to check the urls (I believe that BA's has changed already) and would really appreciate any comments/feedback on my idea.
Thanks,
Robert Garner

Do other FlyerTalkers use wapswap too? Does it include all the useful sites for travellers, or are there some links missing that you'd like to see included, windwalker? Thanks.
