What Websites do you have on your SPV

[Guest youngerpants]

Morning all,

Just wondering what websites you all have stored as favorites on your SPV's... the toolkit of sites you could not live without. e.g. some of my most visited sites whren on the move are

pda.football365.com (we are top of the league!)

google

hotmail

www.ratemyboobies.com (one for the pub ;o))

www.webworldcam.com/indexpda.html (another great show-off site... hmmm, I wonder what Thailand looks like at the moment)

oh, and of course.... Modaco

loads of responses please, I want a realy useful list of favorites from this one

[Guest Paul [MVP]]

I have:

Mobile MoDaCo

BBC News text version

My TiVo's SPV interface

Orange Today

That's about it!

[Guest Monolithix [MVP]]

MoDaCo, BBC News, Orange Train timetable lookup. ;)

[Guest youngerpants]

BBC news text version has been duly added, as have train timetables

another handy one is dictionary.com... but its hard to think of HTML resources that are indispensible when on the move (except for the boobies one of course ;) )

I've got loads :

BBC is the best tho, as well as Sky's PDA site.

But - Since i had to do a hard reset i lost a few good ones.

Whilst browsing on the orange directory i came across a PDA version of the Internet Movie Database. Which was absoloutly superb.

Does anyone have the address? I've done a few searches on Google but only found the whole file for download.

cheers

BBC seems quite popular - quite a suprise !!!

Personally i've got weather report bookmarked (i'ma golfer so you can understand lol) along with Mobile ModaCo - some gr8 site which is gr8 for the pub - cant name it tho lol (too many youngsters a' peepin') and of course my Orange News ;)

Have to say I've been really impressed with GPRS and glad we've all got an extra month or so !!

[Guest youngerpants]

http://mobile.msn.com/hm/folder.aspx

http://www.google.com/ie

http://www.google.com/palm is an alternative, less screen space taken up (no advert for the bar at the bottom)

[Guest fraser]

As others have suggested, a mobile IMBD site would be great. I've searched for this many times and never found anything like it. Matth, you need to find this again!!

Also, the webcam link in the first post doesn't seem to work on my phone.

[Guest youngerpants]

fraser, try

www.webworldcam.com/indexpda.htm (drop the "l")

[Guest matth]

Found IT!

check this

IMDB in miniture.

http://www.magma.ca/~sheppard/IMDb/Web/index.html

[Guest youngerpants]

Well done that man!

My phone can now be used to stop arguments in the pub!

Keep em coming...

[Guest fraser]

Cheers youngerpants, but you never mentioned you need to subscribe to the web cam site. Pity, it looked like a nice site.

Cheers for the IMDB matth, I found that link myself on Google 2 minutes ago, but it didn't work for me. However, clicking on your post works fine, but only on the PC. When I try it on the SPV, I get "page not found" errors when I try to search for a movie.

[Guest youngerpants]

Fraser, that site wasn't subscription last week... how very annoying! I will have to find another!

[Guest matth]

Fraser - don't forget that you need to select what you want the IMDB to show you, just put a tick in the box marked ALL and do the search. Unlike the main IMDB, not all the films have links to the info but it is kept update, for example Welcome to Colinwood, Dreamcatcher and X2 are all on there.

[Guest spacecowboy6982]

space cowboy, which site (URL) do you use for weather reports?

Orange Today - News - Scroll Down To Weather - Bookmark to your chosen town ;) Really quite handy !!

SpaceCowboy

[Guest watek]

Another one for the pub:

www.ratemypoo.com

LOL :oops:

[Guest fraser]

Matth, so it's not the real imdb.com? Is that not the point? The IMDB is probably the biggest movie resource on the planet!

[Guest Mr B]

For you Londoners:

Fluid Bar Guide: www.fluidfoundation.com/mobile/

Transport for London: pda.tfl.gov.uk/

Reference:

British Telecom Directory: wap.bt.com/wap/dq/dqform.jsp#dqres

Yellow Pages: mobile.yell.com/search/mobile/#yellSearch

[Guest Mr B]

Oh yeah, and:

Up My Street (what's near you based on postcode): wap.upmystreet.com

And most of the stuff other people have. Not sure about the BBC site - last time I went, linking to other articles apart from the main pages was difficult, and I could never find what I wanted.

Much prefer the Orange portal for all that sort of stuff.

[Guest fraser]

Is anyone actually testing these URLs before posting? The BT phonebook doesn't work, it times out when you do a search. Yello pages doesn't work either...it insists on dialing a GPRS connection, even when you set-up your data connection as "pass-thru connector". I've always had problems with Yell in Pocket IE.

Or is my phone knackered...? ;)

[Guest matth]

Aye, it is the real IMDB. all the info on it is copyrighted by the IMDB 2003. works fine for me.

cheers

[Guest MoRFLeZ]

I only use the following:

Google

MoDaCo

Monolithix

Hotmail

WebInspire

I'd like a massive list of 'spv-viable' sites tho .. so as peeps say .. keep em coming =)
