ive got a PDA phone, but im ether at work or home, so normal access isn't a problem, unless i was traveling to antartica i have no use for wap. good concept though, opening up the user base!

My answer is no because, if the amount of time I spend on TR while I'm home is any indication of the amount of time I'd spend on the road two things would happen eventually -

First, I'd be in a car accident and killed.

If that didn't happen then -

Second, I'd have to sell my home to pay the phone bill.

Cell phone companies provide a valuable service in this day and age. However, when you go over your alloted "free" minutes (nothing is free of course) they really hit you with expenses. I do not want to pay them for enjoying time on TR. It's bad enough to pay for satellite Internet service. When I'm on the a trip I take my lap top and wireless connection for staying in touch with my TR family.

Bah humbug! :rotfl:

lol.. well, we wouldn't want you crashing now..
it is likely it will be available, still haven't finalized everything. this is just like a final confirmation.

i see it more as a added benefit, more than a main feature, at least at this point..

lets see what everyone has to say..
com on folks, im listening.. ;)

Talkingreef.com/mobile sounds like a great idea! :agree: I travel a lot and it would be great to be able access the site while I’m sitting in the airport, or in a boring customer meeting :yawn:

lol.. sorry, i thought i sumarized it in my first post.

WAP - wireless access protocal, its a standard for browsing websites using mobile devices like cell phones, PDAs, blackberry, treo, etc..

I'm already using my blackBerry. I forgot m8298's number when I was driving to his house. I looked it up in a PM on my blackBerry. Not easy but it worked.

If Im out and get a new PM I get the email on my BlackBerry. I follow the link in my email on the blackberry. I'm signed on to TR and can read and reply to them. Works great. I have tried to read the normal threads, the formating is a lillte off and if it was hard to read because of that. So I guess if you formated in WAP I would use it but not every day. I don't go to far without my PowerBook.

I'd use it from time to time. Sometimes when I am sitting waiting for something, I surf on my phone.

I only use the WAP on my phone in one location. And that place has a sink, toilet and fan, and it is a backup if there is no other good reading material handy at the time. LOL!
