atcmonke Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 wouldn't that be a great idea? like mobile phones with access to the internet. like how some sites are modified to fit the screens of mobile phones? what do you guys think?
stationchief Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 I think you can access these message boards on a mobile phone's internet browser, can't ya? Maybe i'll check later on mine. It all depends on what type of phone you're using, too. UPDATE: Forum works great on my Nokia 6682. Most phones that even just let ya view text on a web site can still access the forums here. Bookmark the site while yer in line BF morning, folks!
Aaron Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 You can get to the main GottaDeal website on your mobile phone, http://mobile.gottadeal.com/
stationchief Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 You can get to the main GottaDeal website on your mobile phone, http://mobile.gottadeal.com/Yeah, but I dunno if that'll let'cha access anything from the BF 2006 forums. Most of those are from the deals found in the main forums. If 'ya have a newer phone, 'ya should be able to access the BF 2006 forums directly.
alimfp Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 I can access the BF forums from my cell phone. I did last week while camping. I just had to login of course.
Novac Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 I did a quick search and didn't see much support for WAP in vB. There was one plugin, but it was in beta I think.
atcmonke Posted September 26, 2006 Author Posted September 26, 2006 Forum works great on my Nokia 6682.awesome! i got a 6680! haha. well. i didnt meanaccess the forum. i mean like accessing the mainpage with all the deals. oh, and another thing, if you guys havent notice,google has an SMS service that txt people directions,locations, and anything you want to search. i haveused the direction search recently, not bad at all,really fast reply from the service.anyways, was wondering, what if GD also had a SMSservice also, like we txt a store we want a list of dealsfrom, and bam! right at your finger tips. Or even a particularitem? iono, just thinking of some convienient ways ofshopping. haha.
stationchief Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 awesome! i got a 6680!Kewl phone, eh? Got mine specifically for the slightly faster processor so I could play those symbian-based NES, SNES, and GameBoy emulators. My new smartphone comes in next month. oh, and another thing, if you guys havent notice,google has an SMS service that txt people directions,locations, and anything you want to search. i haveused the direction search recently, not bad at all,really fast reply from the service.anyways, was wondering, what if GD also had a SMSservice also, like we txt a store we want a list of dealsfrom, and bam! right at your finger tips.

Or just do what I plan on doing, which is print out a complete list of all the BF items in all the ads so 'ya can compare and price match.
Aaron Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 They could be possible, to alert you when ads are posted - I'm not sure if GD would be willing to do this though.
Novac Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 If your phone has an e-mail address assigned to it, I suppose you could sign up for e-mail update on the BF frontpage. That should get you something.
Daisimae Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 If you have an e-mail address that you can set up filters and alerts to like Yahoo!, you can set your e-mail up to get a text message when ads come out. If your cell phone has net access and an e-mail account, you can also use that e-mail account as the one you subscribe to updates with. The e-mail has a link to the ads, which should take you right to the listings. This is how I got updates last year and was able to check GD.com when I was away from my computer.
EliteABombAZ Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 If you have a Java enabled cell phone (NOT BREW), take your phone's WAP browser to http://mini.opera.com and download opera mini. This is a mini version of Opera browser that will allow you to view regular webpages on your phone and rearrange/convert them into a format that conforms with the small screen of your cell phone.
Novac Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 Another thing to keep in mind is that last year, GD went into "Lite Version" on Thanksgiving and BF due to the bandwidth hits. This might make the site better for a cell phone. I can't remember, but I think that the BF Forums don't change, though. The shopping list wasn't available last year under the Lite Version, though.
