Using smartphone with Flyertalk?
I have noticed that some posters post from their Blackberry.
I have a smartphone and was wondering if it's possible to use it to post on Flyertalk...
Thanks.

I should add that I can evidently access flyertalk.com from my smartphone, but I was wondering specifically if there was a way to read and reply to posts without having to load the entire regular content (which may take a while when I am not on a 3G coverage)...
Maybe there is a special URL for smartphones/Blackberries?

Thanks! I am posting this from my Blackjack2.
One issue I found though is that it seems that Opera Mobile is not supported (I get a wrong username/password msg).
I will do further research.

Ok - I retract what I just said... Opera Mobile works just fine.
Just in case someone else has the same issue as I had with Opera for Windows Mobile (v8.65)...
It seems that Opera Mobile is extra-sensitive when typing in text boxes... for example, if I hit the backspace, 2 characters may be deleted at once.
So I assume that my password was incorrectly entered each time I was trying.
