Help testing a site on a mobile phone

[Tekster]

I am trying to get a mobile site going and I need to know how it looks on a mobile device. If you have one, could you test this site: http://xxxphone.net/index-test.html
and let me know how it looks?

Thanks

[Cleo]

Not so good on my iPhone

And horizontal screen shot

Thanks Cleo, I have a bit more reading to do on the subject.

Will post again once I figure out the problem.

[Cleo]

Sure

Also here is a site that will give you a rough idea.

[Tekster]

did a minor change, and I think will be good on the iPhone, but I wonder about other devices

[Cleo]

That's better but still looks pushed to the left.

What did you change?

[Tekster]

added this:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=320; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=0;">

got it from another mobile site

[Tekster]

just removed spaces between thumbs and it looks even better now

[Cleo]

The width looks good now.

But I would center the movie thumbs.

[Tekster]

Thanks a bunch Cleo. I will center the movies on the final site.

My Blackberry 8820 can only show three thumbs on a line so the fourth one ends up on a line by itself.

Also, the title of the page starts with a space and "Porn for your mobile device - Porn To Go!" which takes two lines and then on the third line is a capital letter A with an accent that looks like a cap on top.

Hope this helps!

P.S. Just realized that the block of thumbs at the bottom below the flash and ads looked fine.

Looks pretty good on my iPhone. Like Cleo said, the movie thumbs are left aligned...also, I noticed when you click the thumbs the image is top center. The header looks fine here.

Thanks artwilliams,

I guess I have to do some reading on the Blackberry browser and fix it.
I am still learning a lot about mobile sites.

I just centered everything and I think it will look good on any device with a screen of at least 320px.

I only see two very basic headset emulators on that site.

Shows how much I know about phones. I remember building porn sites for a webtv emulator and figured cell phones would be about the same.

Look at the screen shots from my iPhone that I posted to see how far phones have come.

Another useless page.

I don't think any of us are trying to build pages for anything other than smartphones like the iPhone, Blackberry, HTC, Palm, etc.

It may be useless to you personally, but it may have some merit for those who wish to capitalize on traffic from all phones. Good luck

Thats pretty slick. It also explains a lot of extended restroom breaks I imagine.

Being a geek I've owned and used a bunch of phones that could surf the web but the iPhone is the first phone that actually seems useful for surfing the web. It really more of a tablet PC that fits in your pocket that also makes phone calls.

I just wish AWStats would get around to showing Safari versions so that I knew how much of my Safari traffic is actually iPhone traffic.
