TUG on a Blackberry

[LUVourMarriotts]

I recently purchased a Blackberry Curve. I love it. I spend a lot of time on public transportation and I usually check out my favorite sites. Most of them have mobile sites, so it is pretty easy. TUG doesn't seem to have a mobile site, so I try to view the bbs on the Curve, but it is very odd/difficult to read through the threads.

Does anyone use a Blackberry tool that allows for easier reading of pages such as TUGbbs? I searched around for such a reader but didn't find anything that specifically says that it helps for bbs reading. Thanks for any input. BT

Blackberry, crackberry...I guess I know how you feel!

My problem with tugging (if there is such a word) on Blackberry is among the same thread, some posts become very narrowly displayed so it takes a long time to scroll down. Other than that, I'm OK...

OMG - I thought my pal was the only one on earth that referred to over-use of my blackberry as a crackberry - she is not so original after all - YAY!!

I find it tough to see much TUG stuff on it as well...

I can get Tug on my BB, but you're right -- it's very hard to read. When I'm in a hot zone, I can get it on my I-touch -- and it's much easier to read (you can change the screen orientation to landscape/horizontal, plus it's a much bigger screen). I love my I-touch ... makes me want to get an I-phone so the internet will always work!

I tried it. the display is a lot better...Thank you! However, I could not find the "Today's Post" button any more. How do I get that back?

That seems to help with my Palm Centro also. thanks,

Thanks for the tip. It does seem to be somewhat better.

Isn't that going to kinda kill your data plan?

Thanks....I'm able to better view it from my Treo as well. It's still a bit confusing with all the links and formating...but better than before.

I have the unlimited data plan through Verizon, which is required when using a BES server for corporate email. So I'm good there. Unfortunately, the price of that is $49.99/month (I believe that's the highest of any carrier), but my company discount knocks that down to $32.99/month specifically for the data plan. I also get 20% off for the cell plan, which is good too.

Ouch! - I have to pay almost $120 a month to Rogers for a lousy 7MB plan with 250 minutes of air time.
