I got one of those fancy-shmancy phones that I can surf the mobile web with and check email and all that good stuff. What cool mobile web sites should I bookmark?  
I have Yahoo, MSN, CNN, ABCNEWS so far.

– google.  
– Mapquest. (I get lost very often. Why do you ask? :D)

Hm. I’m a geek and a knitter, so…  
– websites of good local yarn stores for their addresses  
– mobile device blogs like [pocketpcthoughts.com](http://pocketpcthoughts.com), pocketgamer  
– fictionwise for ebooks

Out of curiosity, can I ask what model you’ve got?

Thanks, I’ll check those out, especially the ebook one.

I got a Nokia 6800, which actually has a keyboard:

It’s a bit bigger than some phones, but that’s the price you pay for the keyboard, I suppose. It still fits fine in the pocket.
