Co.com on Blackberry?
 
I have not been able to sign in or look at my account,reservations using Blackberry for continental.com

any help please

did you try pda.continental.com? I just logged in using my BB Pearl, and was able to check all of my upcoming reservations just fine, as well as account balance.

Try wap.continental.com. This works for my Blackberry and use it all the time.

pda. will work from most handheld devices (Blackberry, Palm OS, Pocket PC OS) while the wap. version should work with web-enabled cell phones as well.

If you have a newer BBerry, you should be able to see the normal www.continental.com just fine. I'm not sure if they set a 'handheld' CSS, but it's pretty easy to navigate on my 8700.

I'd try on the technology forum too. The people over there are amazing!

Has anyone been successful using online check-in and doing reservation maintenance (seat change, etc.) with Windows Mobile Smartphone Edition - like the Moto Q or similar?

Thanks - using pda lets me sign on and go to my account but I couldn't retreive my reserved flights

pda.continetal.com is buggy

I started thread awhile ago ( http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=626293 ) about possible improvements to the site. COInsider mentioned some changes were forthcoming. No idea on timeline but as you'll read in that post the pda site is frustrating to use.

On the Dash...
 
Using Pocket IE on the Dash, I can't seem to stay signed in moving from page to page. Opera Mini seems to work (haven't messed with reservations or OLCI (yet).

I have had limited success with OLCI on the TMobile Dash, which is frustrating. Given the number of smartphones out there, I would hope that this would work better.

OLCI doesn't work on most mobile devices. No one has explained the technical reasons but other than the few references I've seen to it working on the TMobile DASH, I haven't read any other successes.

That's bad news. Being able to do OLCI and service my reservations was a major reason I was interested in something like the Moto Q in the first place.

Edited to add: I was able to check-in for a NWA flight while I was testing a Sony Ericsson P910 using Opera - but with GPRS, the process took almost 45 minutes and was extremely painful. If it could work on Opera using EVDO, that would be great.

I have a treo and use pda.continental.com and continental.com.

All seems to work fine, except check in.

My trick is to save certain pages

The communication technology is not really the issue. It's the browser capabilities, which are largely crippled on the Q and other such devices. Many websites ignore accessibility guidelines and rely on the availability of JavaScript to submit forms (like when logging in).

I would not expect CO's OLCI to work properly, as I am quite certain it relies on JavaScript (especially if you think you're going to pull up the seat selection map!).

One of the more exciting things about the upcoming iPhone is that it has a full-featured browser (Safari) running on it. But, that's another 5-6 months away...
