I think it should be a new poll, I'd imagine quite a few people have moved on from 1024x768 since May08

1280x800 on the laptop. Refuse to pay astronomical fees for mobile browsing so can't help you with that!

I think we're probably more interested in descriptions of user experience of browsing DS on a small device rather than specific resolutions per se. In particular:-

1. Is browsing the DS main site or the forum on a hand-held a painful experience at the moment or does it work just fine and dandy?

2. How does this compare with using a fixed-width site such as Beeb news? (assuming you're browsing the main edition and not the mobile version)

"Gervase...what screen resolution do I have?"




1680 x 1050 apparently. Whatever that means...

That's not awkward, it's correct.

I sometimes browse on my phone, but not very often (once every 2 months or so perhaps, or less), and I have to say it isn't a perfect experience, but it's doable if you want to browse only.

Posting doesn't work from my phone (Nokia 5800), though I can type an entire message out! It's the submit post button that doesn't seem to work.

I browse and post from my Blackberry. It's OK, but the avatars loading slows in down quite a bit.

Yeah, would be good to have the mobile css make avatars invisible.

I browse occasionally from my phone - it's not brill but OK I've not tried posting though I'd like to do it more.... I pay a flat fee for mobile internet and since I find the odd FaceBook usage to chill out in the middle of a stressful work day (whilst on the loo - only place I can get away with it!) a necessity I might as well browse this as well!!
