I am just curious to know whether it is possible to access and answer the KudoZ questions on a mobile phone. I'd like to clarify that I am not asking about a PC or laptop connected with a mobile phone in this respect. Instead, I just want to ascertain whether we can answer the questions on a mobile phone itself. What are the basic requirements in this connections, if this is possible at all?

Thanks in anticipation

Hardly at the moment, but a good idea Sep 25, 2004

It should be possible to convert the kudoz-part of this site into wap-format. Then it would be accessable by mobiles.
Otherwise you can easily connect your gprs-phone to a laptop and read the net normally like at home. Set the browser to exclude images, that should speed up things a lot.

Only using a smartphone Sep 25, 2004

Hi,
Heinrich is right - the vast majority of mobile phones providing internet connectivity using the WAP protocol, which is unavailable for ProZ.com.

Some recent phones running a special version of Windows CE (I'm using the Motorola MPx200 myself) should be capable of displaying ProZ.com pages, however - whether answering KudoZ in this way is really a good idea, well, I have some doubts...

Best regards, Ralf

I am using Sep 25, 2004

a Blackberry mobile phone (GPRS + WAP) but I can access neither the KudoZ area nor the job one, although I do receive e-mails and can enter the site.
