mobile devices used to view this site? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

79gmcc15 · 02-21-2010, 03:46 AM

Who uses a phone or the like to get on the site? I probably use my phone more then the computer to browse this site. it is a little harder to do long reply's and such but it is fun to check up here... it definitely has fueled my addiction

Tater · 02-21-2010, 04:02 AM

I don't use a mobile device to access the internet.My cell phone is kind of ghetto.I can call people and send/recieve texts and that's it.It does'nt even have a camera

Tater · 02-21-2010, 04:03 AM

I usually use my laptop to go online,I don't consider it a mobile device since it never leaves my house

Otsa580 · 02-21-2010, 12:09 PM

I use my iphone when the gf has the laptop. It's not very fast but it gets the job done.

**old Rusty C10** · 02-21-2010, 12:21 PM

Recently i decided to join the 21st century and i bought an I phone. It has the web and i bought it to do the email thing for business but hey i have it and ive been on here once with it. I am here alot when at my home and office and when my wife is at chemo im sometimes on when i carry the laptop. I guess what im trying to say is that i have no life and am always here but its cool

Restrorob · 02-21-2010, 02:08 PM

Well,

I picked up a 22" wide flat monitor so I could see everything better, I could have internet put on my phone but I can't hardly see what's on the screen now even with my glass's....

I have used my Iphone, but it would be nice if we had an app for that...!

**N2TRUX** · 02-21-2010, 03:47 PM

I "can: use my phone to view the site, but rarely do. I read the PM notices via my email account and I get enough to know if something really needs my attention.

For reference I carry the LG eNv Touch. Not as internet capable as the iPhone but much easier to carry.

**BillGent** · 02-21-2010, 04:12 PM

I just got this phone.. so I'm learning how to use it. I decided to purchase a data plan on it for a month to see if I like it. So far I don't see how it's worth it.

I've always wondered why you have internet on your phone. I can see getting e-mails for work, but I already pay some $40 a month now for internet at my home, I don't want to pay another $40 a month for internet on a phone with a 2.3" screen. Alot of people have the i-phones now, but to me, its a waste of money. I can wait to get home to check my e-mail.

GREASEMONKEY72 · 02-26-2010, 03:06 PM

i just stick to the desktop, im glued to it enough already

big_al_71 · 02-26-2010, 09:36 PM

I use my blackberry bold 9700 when not in my office, other than that is my laptop ....

60ratrod · 02-26-2010, 10:43 PM

i never thought i could with my phone. but i would rather use my computer.

**LostMy65** · 10-19-2010, 12:39 AM

Is there a mobile version of this site?

It's usually a trimmed down, lite version.

Great for quick browsing and reading of articles.

vectorit · 10-19-2010, 01:04 AM

I use my Droid HTC Incredible when I am stuck on a job site, since I don't use my work laptop to surf the web for personal stuff.

Mainly to pass the time because I am sitting on eternal hold on another phone or I'm waiting for something to break.

You are all going to end up with ear and thumb dysplasia.

There are a lot of applications on the iphone that are life savers... google maps to search for stores, traffic etc.. Pandora.com for free streaming music...

Viewing regular websites is the last thing I do on it though, if they have a mobile site like nfl.com then it makes it easier to read.

***Liz*** · 10-19-2010, 07:59 AM

There is no choice available for me.. Yes I check in via the droid x. Do I want to? Heck no... It has become a have to, not a want at this point

GmtGmt · 10-19-2010, 01:15 PM

i use the computer at work and home i have an old phone i dont like all the new stuff

**LostMy65** · 10-19-2010, 01:27 PM

I use my pda for much of my business.

nickp51chevy · 10-19-2010, 01:47 PM

I do use my fone some times, but not very often. Mostly just to check up on questions that I've asked or interesting threads that I can't wait to look at.

**LEEVON** · 10-19-2010, 02:02 PM

I use my blackberry to access occassionally, and ususally give up. Too slow to load and hard to navigate. I wish there was a mobile version, that would be cool!

In my case its a job. If I don't have access when needed I have txts n calls on issues. If they are not dealt with they usually become huge issues. I was perfectly happy not having it. It did become a tool of the trade though so im stuck with it.

Not whining, just explaining one reason why
