Ok I cant be all 'lets keep this forum on topic' anymore
Forums on phones is totally possible, it just ends up that you get screwed my your service provider for 'Data charges' over here in the UK, GPRS (do you get GPRS in the states?) charges 7.5p per KB(!!!) of data sent, so very expensive, and its as slow as dial up! I did this once or twice using bluetooth and my palmtop (to get a slightly bigger screen) and i can tell you that trying to view websites at 320 x 240 is not fun!
However with a proper 3G (UK rocks ) phone then you can do the same with 300+kbps broadband and i think that the data prices are alot better. 3G beats your EDGE anyday
And lastly there is a super cool way of viewing on your phone is with a wifi phone, take the nokia N80, but granted you'd need a wifi hotspot to do so.
Damn, im a gadget nerd
