Please Check This Site in Your Phone!

A quick request, if I may: If you have a web-capable cell phone, would you please try to view this blog in it and let me know how it appears? I’m testing some plugins that should optimize the page for desktop, low-end mobile, and high-end mobile devices.

Please look at the main page and at least one post, then leave a comment below (still on the phone if you can) with the following:

  • What phone are you using? (RAZR, iPhone, etc. Specific model if you know it)
  • Can you load the site at all? (If not, what error do you get?)
  • Does it look like..
    1. The desktop version of the site (red background, lightning banner, full sidebar, complete posts on main page)
    2. A bare-bones page (plain background, mostly text, headlines only on main page, “Powered by WordPress. WordPress Mobile Edition” listed at the bottom of the page)
    3. A sleeker-looking list (grayish background, each post headline in a white rectangle, calendar image next to each headline, main page has headlines that expand to excerpts, dark red banner across top, “Powered by WordPress with WPtouch” listed in footer)
  • Are you using the built-in web browser, or something you installed (Opera Mini, for example)?
  • Did anything not work?

If you can’t post a comment, please try one of the following:

  • Bring up the site on your computer to leave the comment.
  • Send me a Twitter direct message to @SpeedForceOrg.
  • Email me at speedforce – [at] – pobox – [dot] – com.

I’m mainly trying to make sure that the detection code is working right, since I’ve got 3 different plugins (WPTouch, WordPress Mobile Edition and WP Super Cache) working together to manage it.

Thanks in advance!

    I’m using a BlackJack 2 with WM6.2 and IE. It looks great.

    It’s the slimmed down version of the site, with basic links to the pages and recent posts. There is no color or styling. There is a link at the bottom to exit the ‘Mobile Edition’ and view the site normally, which I personally would never bother clicking. The mobile version is nice.

    Im using the LG Dare, and its just the same as the desktop version. The browser Im using is the built in verizon internet.

    The preview option did not work, it was greyed out and gave me the option to click it… but posted instead. Everything else was fine.

    Thanks for all the responses so far! It sounds like it’s working about right.

    I’ll look into the problem with the preview button. I don’t have an iPhone or iPod Touch to test with, but I do have a G1, which uses (essentially) Chrome, so it’s similar to Safari.

    * phone: Palm Treo 755p
    * I can load the site.
    * It looks like (b) a barebones page as you described it.
    * I’m using the built-in browser, Blazer.
    * I didn’t try much but it all seemed to work. I didn’t see a search option, though, and I didn’t know how to find apost from February (I didn’t think it’d be under “recent posts” but maybe I was wrong).

    I meant to do this a month ago, but forgot. Sorry for the delay. I hope this is still useful.

    Thanks, everyone, for all your feedback!

    I’ve updated to a new version of WordPress Mobile Edition, which seems to take care of a lot of the issues I ran into before. Plus it handles both the low-end and high-end (iPhone, Android, etc.) phones in one plugin. Please head over to the new post on your mobile device and let me know if you run into any problems!
