i cannot enter moves on the mobile version of the site. this is because my smartphone navigates via a joypad and not by a stylus. i wonder if there could be an option to enter moves by typing in some algebraic notation? or do i need to buy a new smartphone? if so, which ones work best with the site?

I use the browser, Opera Mini, with my Sony Ericsson K850i, and it works perfectly well to make moves with the arrow buttons. No stylus needed, no joypad needed.

My 17" screen and my keyboard at my desctop computer is better, but my mobile is just fine when I want to make a move at RHP.

I have a windows CE smartphone and I can't navigate to the board with the IE browser. Don't think I can install any other browser on a windows CE device?
