I am especially looking for mobile device <b>start pages and portals</b> that you can edit/customize/etc.<br> <br> My new cellphone has a basic web browser (although it certainly is no iPhone or BlackBerry), and since I'm not using a cellphone provider's portal/site on the phone, it is up to me to set-up a home page for the cellphone and add links to other pages I want to use. post:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.108192 Tue, 02 Dec 2008 09:13:07 -0800 jca cellphone pda wap mobile http://ask.metafilter.com/108192/Mobile-sites#1558553 <a href="http://cantoni.mobi/">This</a> is a good, regularly updated, though US-centric list of mobile pages. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.108192-1558553 Tue, 02 Dec 2008 09:18:39 -0800 Happy Dave http://ask.metafilter.com/108192/Mobile-sites#1558647 Netvibes has a mobile version.

Add/edit/otherwise amend the links to whatever you want. I copied it to my phone on a card miniSD card, opened it in the browser and set it as the homepage. (You will need to copy/paste it into notepad and save it as whatever.html first.)<br> <br> I hate having opening my browser on the phone cost me part of my allowance. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.108192-1558699 Tue, 02 Dec 2008 10:47:02 -0800 mandal http://ask.metafilter.com/108192/Mobile-sites#1558885 Netvibes gives a content error on the phone's browser.
