Opera Mini...I agree.

Yes, the only site anyone should really go to with their WAP browser is http://mini.opera.com. Then, download the browser, and you'll be able to visit nearly any web site. It's fast, doesn't use too much data, and is configurable. I regularly visit nearly all the same sites I can on my computer (I use T-Mobile's $5.99 unlimited internet plan on a Sharp 3G/GSM phone).

is anyone else having trouble with http://www.faa.gov/wireless/

the main link works but the airport delays link (http://www.faa.gov/wireless/delays.cfm#index) either comes up with a page not found error or a static faa page.

Ah...too bad about the Vodafone...are you in the UK? Actually, I roam regularly on the Vodafone Japan network (now Softbank) with my unlocked Vodafone-branded phone (Sharp 903). The roaming rates for email are far lower than the calling rates..

try http://plusmo.com/ - been using it for a while, first on my moto v551 and now on my bb8700c. I love the cricket app of course (note my handle); but their main app is pretty awesome - i use it as my web-to-go, kind of an avantgo that really works for the general consumer. The images and slideshows are really nifty.

I e-mailed the FAA on 11/12. They responded today:

Please visit our website at http://www.fly.faa.gov/ais/jsp/ais.jsp

Here is where you can resubscribe to receive delay information by cell phone.


Unfortunately, this is just a web site where you can get text messages about delays at airports you specify from a list. It's not the same as the web site.

I'm going to respond that this really isn't helpful. Seldom do I fly into the same airport.

Question Currency conversion

Any good wap site(s) for converting units of one currency into another based on current exchange rates?

I'm not on my PDA at the moment so I haven't tried, but you might be able to reach Yahoo!'s Currency Converter through Yahoo!'s WAP site.

wap.xe.com is listed in the first post. Does it not work for your purpose?

A word of advice:

Be sure to backup your phone (or if you are like me, keep a backup list) with all of your favorite WAP addresses.

I recently changed phones and lost all the wap listings because I could not launch the internet browser on the old phone after service was disconnected.
Still trying to track down a few favorites - without this FT thread I would surely be up a creek!
