Maybe it depends on the device and/or browser? My WM6 HTC Mogul tends to be the device I use most for browsing and interacting with trac-hacks, t.e.o, and this google users list. I switch between the built-in IE and Opera. The built-in IE doesn't work for t.e.o because for some reason it only puts one word (occasionally two) on each line - doesn't have that problem with any other Trac site I've found. Opera works great with t.e.o but doesn't handle the google groups as well - shows lots of fields and text that clearly should be hidden.
Anyway, the Mogul has the 240x320 screen and a fairly decent size slide out keyboard. I think that last bit might be the key to usability when it comes to data entry. I used T9 for quite a while with my old Nokia (which I loved) but it'd be hard to go back. Once we get our Trac site published and I get a VPN client installed, I plan to use it. - jevans On Aug 29, 9:55 am, Jani Tiainen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ted Gifford kirjoitti: > > Noah Kantrowitz wrote: > >> Jani Tiainen wrote: > > >>> Is there mobile solutions to access Trac data, like > >>> adding/closing/modifying tickets from mobile devices (S60, UIQ or WM). > >>> Of course I can use mobile webbrowser to do that but it's more than > >>> painful. > > >>> I seek solution that I could open connection to my Trac, propably read > >>> ticket information, and assign ticket to me and close ticket.
