Looking to compile a list of content rich sites suitable for surfing on gprs or wap enabled devices such as cellphones, palmtops etc. When I have some time to kill I usually end up killing it looking for something to look at! Googling for gprs and wap site turns up loads of ringsignal sites etc, but I want something to read!

Of course the SD is at the top of my list, I can read articles but getting to the boards was a bit skeevy with the very long link names, I have had to give up on the boards I fear.

http:\[mobile.theonion.com](http://mobile.theonion.com) is always good for a laugh, and  
http:\[www.google.com](http://www.google.com)\palm is very handy for cites on the go!

What are your favourite wastes of time when you out and about and in need of distraction?

I don’t use the browser on my device for fun so I have no opinion.

I’m curious, though, what device are you using? I have a Blackberry 7230 and I love, love, love it. It felt a little dorky using the integrated telephone out in public, but I’ve since gotten over myself.

Using a Nokia 3650, fantastic machine, I have raved about it in other threads.  
Forgot a link in my OP [http://mobile.lonelyplanet.com](http://mobile.lonelyplanet.com) and of course that I connect to telnet and play text-based MORPG (mud). 🙂

Very cool. That’s a nice, big screen for a mobile phone!

I have a seething jealousy of your phone, Iteki, especially as the telnetting is geekus maximus.
