Occasionally from my PDA.

ehh, id play around with it

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!

well i know its something a lot of people have asked for so im just checking to see how many of them are still around..

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!

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!

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

Can't wait! It will be much easier check up on what's new and keep up with all the posts.

Not really.

You should have had "What is WAP" on the poll now I have to go use google.

Once I figure it out I will be back to vote.

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

unfortunately, I don't have such a fancy gizmo....maybe some day in the future?!

I don't have a crackberry yet

bob21115 · 08-29-2006, 08:58 AM

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.
