I can't access BUS from my PDA; I've tried using MiniMo and PocketIE, but it tells me I'm banned. Any way I can get mobile BUS or not?

i don't think forums work on any mobile browser, sorry.

Likewise, I think I remember using PocketIE to access BUS like... back in the Dark Ages or something. Anyone any clue why I can't now?

I'm writing this with opera mini. It'll work with just about any phone (so long as it can do java) no need for expensive PDAs ;)

Edit: Get it from http://www.operamini.com/ .

for security reasons, i disabled mobile networks. if it's critical, i can reconsider, but i'd prefer not to allow logins form mobile networks.

Fair enough. It's not critical, just inconvenient, but I can live with that. May I ask why mobile networks are disabled or would you prefer not to go into details?

Not wifi. it has a thing i click that says "web browser" and then i can type in names of websites or go to places i've had bookmarked.

but it dials automaticaly, i don't have to dial a number for it.

i feel so stupid. i don't even know how the hiptop does what it does.
