Hi All,
Was just thinking about upgrading my mobile phone at the weekend (my current one is very old) and was just wondering if it was possible to play chess at RHP via mobile phone with GPRS?
I know there are some adventurous people out there that may have already tried it so thought I would post before I actually make my mind up about a phone.
Currently thinking about a Sony Ericsson K700i which is GPRS and WAP enabled.
Any advice gratefully received.
Originally posted by JDK2No idea if it'll work, there was some talk about it in the Site Ideas Forum. Will cost you a fortune if its possible.

Advice 1; Sony Ericsson W800i is far superior.
Advice 2; Stop being a chess addict.

Thanks for the replies. I've been doing a bit more research and a bit of testing with any available phone I can get my hands on.
The phones I tested were a Samsung clamshell and an Sony Ericsson 750 (both with GPRS). The web page loaded fine on the SE but not on the Samsung. However, both failed to show any boards and instead replaced it with X's down the side.
I remember somewhere that I may need to select the legacy board to sort this out. Both however involved a lot of scrolling.
I am still looking around at the moment to see what would be best as I do intend a mobile device of sorts eventually.
Yes I am a complete and utter chess addict and the whole reason for getting a mobile device of sorts is so that I can view/play chess anywhere I want. So its obviously not an essential device but a nice to have.
Currently plumping for saving up for an XDA 3G (either mini S or exec). I'm sure there are other people out there who are as addicted as me, possibly even more so. So was curious as to past experiences and what worked best for them.
