Am I the only person that uses their phone for light web surfing? I really
need some help to determine if the problem I am having is with Verizon or
with a web site. My phone is an LG VX6100 and I surf a little, often to see
weather radar pics for my work. I use one particular web site
www.skweezer.net to keep the endless typing down for URLs, remember some
bookmarks, and mostly to strip out images and format web pages for the small
screen. I'm not suggesting anyone use the Skweezer site. You don't have to
register or give them any info to them in order to help me troubleshoot this
problem. I just need anyone with a Vzw phone that has web access to try and
login to Skweezer or click on the "bookmarks" link to I can see if the "lost
connection to server" problem I am having is specific to the web site when
using Vzw or not.

If anyone uses another web site to modify web pages for the small screen and
one that has a bookmark feature please let me know. I'm not spamming for
the web site and will gladly use another web site.

Thanks

Why use a pay service when you can do what you want for free?

Get yourself a gmail.com account for your phone.

Send the URLs that you want to use on your phone to your gmail account.

Then use http://m.google.com to get to your gmail e-mail and make sure you
view it in "Mobile" if you get the option.

When you click on the links you e-mailed to your phone you will find out
they have been redirected through google so you can view them with your
"small screen."

There you have it. All your bookmarks can be in one e-mail and google will
take care of the conversion for your "small screen" for you.

All I can tell you is that it works okay on my Treo 700wx with VZW. Are you
sure you have the right plan to include web browsing? I would assume so or
you would not have asked this question.

Maybe you're just having connection issues. Does it work in some locations
but not others?

I should add, the bookmarks link does work for me, but I am not a member.
After clicking on bookmarks, I am taken to a login screen to login. That's
as far as I can get without a login.

Thanks, clicking on "bookmarks" or "log in" is sufficient to tell me what I
need to know. Either resetting my phone caused a problem on the phone,
maybe I lost the web site cookie, and I can't seem to get logged in. Every
other wed site works as normal and that web site works on my laptop.

Yes, I have data access over WAP, using the BReW web browser, mini-opera
isn't an option. I've been using the web site and web browsing in the same
way for just over 2 years. The web site works OK on my laptop. Some of the
web site works even now on my phone, with the exception of "log in" and
"bookmarks". When I try those links on my phone I get either "connection to
server lost" or "untrusted security certificate" error message.

Thanks very much Frank for the reply.
