I used to dislike the fact that since Blazer was a WAP browser that I couldn't go to some websites. However, after the first few minutes with Novarra's NWeb browser, I didn't think that was such a shortcoming when I tried to load the "regular" website versions of Ameritrade and Hotmail.
The resultant websites took so long to load and then were terrible to navigate with all the graphics and tons of unnecessary text that was crammed on to the i500 screen making it essentially useless.
Luckily when I was on the phone with the Sprint Level 2 Tech who walked me through the manual provisioning procedure that got my Novarra browser working in the first place, he also found the old text-based website URL for Ameritrade that I used to use with Blazer (
https://www.amtdw.com).
For Hotmail, someone else has posted this on another forum topic:
www.mobile.msn.com/hm/folder.ASPX for MSN in general and you can later save the Hotmail-specific URL once you tap on the Hotmail link there
With Novarra, it's kind of like having the best of both worlds -- still access to the faster-to-use WAP type sites, along with "regular" internet website access when you want it.
Does anyone know of a central place to find the WAP-type URLs for popular websites or do you have to go to each website to find their mobile-browser oriented versions? Thanks.
