mobilechat Posting from the M5... another traffic jam. Has anyone else here used their phone to post here?

Take a picture of the traffic jam!

Ooh, you can use your phone? I've tried to before and, although I can preview, I can't actually post - something to do with the JavaScript on the form. What phone and browser are you using?

I've posted a few comments from my iPhone. And I think before that my K800i.

I've done it with my N73 and Opera Mini. Sadly, it's way too expensive to do it more often.

yup, have posted from my Nokia E61, works fine (and T-mobile's unlimited data plan rules).

I sometimes use my friend's iphone to post and am looking forward to affording one of my own some day.

Opera mini? The last time I tried (and failed) with that was a 2.x version. I've not tried with a 3.x one. And I wish they'd hurry up and get 4 out of the door.

I've read posts from my 8525 (WM5) with Opera but haven't posted yet. The field is visible so I would assume that it can be done.

I have an Orange SPV M3100 with Windows Mobile:

It's my work phone (I'm in charge of all the phones, as it were) so the data bundle is shared... but no one uses it much. I could surf with it a lot more than I do, but it's kind of slow.

This note is being posted from an 8525 using the crippled IE.

It appears to work.

Oddly enough I was about to post a twitterish "in O'Hare posting to mecha" type of message.

MonkeyButter - if you use flickr, I wrote a WM5 flickr uploader if you want it.

Thanks P. that would be great. I've got a better browser for you, too, if you like.

I have. I'm also commenting on my sidekick3 now. Forgot my ipod touch so I'm not as cool.

This is also my first post in a year or something!
