I flyertalk everywhere but probably the most at home because that is where I have the most free time. When I am traveling I am usually quite busy and only post if something happened on my trip.

That said this post is from the DCA metro station. It seems to be a slow travel day considering its the day before Thanksgiving.

Home, hotels, internet cafes, etc. Not at work, as I'm not sure they'd like that.

Putting my rollaboard in the overhead bin a few days ago, I glanced down; the person seated in front of me was typing in his iPhone, and a very familiar screen caught my eye; FlyerTalk.

We had a pleasant chat...

Me too--I read from everywhere, but only post where there's a computer or I have my laptop handy.

Sorry if this is a boneheaded question--but how are folks posting on blackberries/PDAs? Is there any particular software or app designed for that purpose? I use Viigo to keep up on news feeds (including flyertalk threads) on a Verizon BB 8703e with EVDO, but the internet browsing is still clumsy enough I can't imagine navigating a seriously long flyertalk thread to do more than read it (i.e. I don't post). Maybe other folks are also just reading, not posting, when using the BB/PDA etc.?

Flyer talk has a mobile version. Although I don't use it. I use Opera Mini on my Treo 750 and it formats the whole page to fit my screen if I choose so.

Virtually almost everywhere and mostly on my laptop which I virtually carry with me all the times. Of course can't deny the significant bulk comes from home and the office.
