    Which device do you use?

    After reading other threads about various mobile devices, I am curious how many of us use what mobile devices to access this Clan (community, forum, whatever you prefer to call XMTS). I suppose this information could be useful to Admin for future updates/upgrades to the forum, but as a technology junkie, I am just curious. Currently I use an iPhone, but have used a Windows Mobile Device, and a basic WAP browser. Please respond with what you currently use.

    I'll sometimes use my husband's iPod Touch to check the forum out. I never reply using it though. I mainly just read a few threads and any new PM's. We're both wanting iPhones. I would probably use it the same way... just mainly a quick look at a couple threads (saving the rest for when I'm home and can use my computer), and maybe occasionally replying to a PM. I mostly use my laptop -- anything smaller is just not as handy for me when it comes to things like boards like this.

    I recently got a Palm Pre which is very handy for my intended purposes -- finding businesses when I'm already away from home, navigation function, light Web usage. I find that I can't post or PM at either of the kilt forums that I use -- not sure why, but I haven't taken the time to figure it out yet. Each accepts my log-in, shows me "new posts" and PMs, but kicks me out when I attempt to post or PM.

    The size of keyboard makes it unlikely that I'd do any major posting, but it would be handy (for example, if I see something for sale and want to jump on it!). I suppose once it prevents me from getting a desired object, I'll find the time to figure out the problem LOL

    Samsung E900 - because it has a 3 megapixel camera - no other reason.

    I knew I had forgotten something. I should have added Blackberry to the poll. I have used them before, but I was not on XMTS then.

    I'm currently "Black-buried" (spelling intentional), but I touch base with XMTS when I'm not on the go... at home or during a lull from my desk at work. When I'm in "mobile mode" I'm generally too busy to check in.

    note: I'd have an IPhone but that network simply does not work inside my theatre, making it a non-starter.

    I would use my Crackberry. But I haven't used it yet for X-marks, only business e-mail.
