Best cell phone websites?

May 20, 2008 8:14 AM

What are your favorite mobile (non-iphone) websites? I'm interested in all topics, but, particularly, useful tools when I'm out and about, e.g., weather, traffic, price comparison, etc.) I saw a question from a couple years ago on this topic, but I'm betting there's been a lot of development in this area.

Honestly, the ones I use most often are the Google tools: Google Calendar, Gmail, Google Reader.

I also use nytimesriver.com (New York Times), Facebook, Drinkboy (a cocktail reference), Youtube (if your device supports the video functionality), eBay, Mapquest.

Yelp should suit your needs nicely.

Wapedia is awesome. Also:
Weather: m.wund.com
Sports: mobileapp.espn.go.com
RSS: www.bloglines.com (it detects that you're using a mobile browser)
Flight status: mobile.flightstats.com
Betting markets: intrade.com/pda

For maps, download Google Maps Mobile. It's a separate application on your phone; it doesn't run in your web browser.
