cell phone web browser, do you even use it? - GoFuckYourself.com

Digipimp · 05-05-2004, 03:50 AM

anyone really make much use of the web browser on their cell or what? or do you have some favorites apps or anything that you use regularly?

i don't really use mine much, it bores me and sometimes i think i should mess with it on the nights when i have unlimited minutes but i get bored in a couple minutes.

hydro · 05-05-2004, 03:52 AM

not unless i have to, it takes me way too long to go on the web with my phone.

TheMob · 05-05-2004, 04:01 AM

I use my email client..but not my web browser.

xxxoutsourcing · 05-05-2004, 04:04 AM

I got an O2 XDAII and use it for the web when i'm mobile.

kmanrox · 05-05-2004, 04:05 AM

all the time... i use Opera on my phone

demented · 05-05-2004, 05:48 AM

I use mine alot. It's pretty cool actually. I can check my stats at some sponcers and play yahoo games. It's a newer phone and it doesnt just make the pages all text. Most pages look just as they do on the computer.

ADL Colin · 05-05-2004, 05:51 AM

I used mine for a week before I got bored of it.

DarkJedi · 05-05-2004, 05:56 AM

dont use it

C_U_Next_Tuesday · 05-05-2004, 05:59 AM

I hate talking on the phone..hell, I dont even know where my cell phone is at the moment..let alone use it for web browsing... I'll save that chore for when I am actually sitting in front of the computers..which is way too much as it is.

quiet · 05-05-2004, 06:10 AM

i hate all the junk they pile into cellphones these days. the camera is the only new good idea to be added lately.

i've got my laptop for everything else.

drives me nuts to see these kids stting around with their phones in their hands.. fingers moving so fast over their keys..text messaging away... The news did a report on how kids use all the new phone gadgets to cheat on exams... all we need is more incompetant fucks that cheated their way through medical school .

I like to hang out where there are no phone signals

Only Europeans use that stupid shit because they are too poor to own a computer.

only at the airport or when i'm really really bored and waiting

stephthegeek · 05-05-2004, 07:04 AM

I do occasionally. It's handy for looking up a phone number, or reading news if I'm really bored. Or posting to LiveJournal. But it's quite a pain in the butt to use.

AnalProbe · 05-05-2004, 07:07 AM

Only if I have my 20" screen with me.

Diabolical Cord · 05-05-2004, 07:15 AM

I'm behind the times. I've yet to try it. My next phone will have one, though, so I'll try it then.

GigaXXX · 05-05-2004, 08:25 AM

If you really want to use your phone for things other than talking the sidekick from t-mobile is teh uber.

PSGuru · 05-05-2004, 08:45 AM

I use it to download games for my girls to play, other then that there is no use...

skillfull · 05-05-2004, 08:54 AM

i never use it

Project-Shadow · 05-05-2004, 09:29 AM

It's good for checking e-mail and stats when you're away for a while, apart from that not really.. looking at a small screen while surfing a 1280x1024 optimized page pisses me off

Firehorse · 05-06-2004, 02:53 AM

I have a couple of phones with really large screens that I use to browse the web. I really appreciate that they have a camera and video built in. This was great when we travelling with our baby daughter and we were able to email pics instantly back to family from the phones.

Kitty and I can also do face to face video calling which has been really useful when shopping and stuff. They also play mp3 and heaps of other stuff. I like having something that is compact yet has a large screen and many features on my belt, readily accessible!

I just use my cellphone for talking.. I dont have little asian fingers to whip out speedy text messages with the standard phone pad.

As for webbrowsing.. I leave the house to be away from the internet!

boardersweetie · 05-06-2004, 03:01 AM

I web browse yellowpages and maps and directions on my phone. I also text message all the fucking time, I'm pretty fast at it though.

zzgundamnzz · 05-06-2004, 03:03 AM

Never use the browser in my phone. It takes forever to load and then to type the url. Makes the net a very unhappy place...

fuzebox · 05-06-2004, 03:05 AM

I use my phone's WAP browser daily... Phonebooks are indespensible, and I like to grab news headlines, sports scores, and stock quotes when I'm out and have a minute to spare in a lineup or something.

Also works great for checking movie times while you're at a restaurant.
