There are so many mobile website nowadays. I'd love to know what mobile websites you are using.
Simple rule to post: use the same formatting
Website name, A small description to introduce people to the website.
My personal favorite:
Wapedia, The best Wikipedia for mobile devices.
I'll use those sites in the WebApps section of Gecko.

Cool blog, it would be useful if things were organized into categories...but this wouldn't fit well with the blog format.
thanks , I did actually put up a category since many of my readers wanted it : http://www.1800pocketpc.com/category
Curious about mobile news, phones, networks, etc. What are some of your favorite sites for these particular topics?
I found a new forum on the web today. I think its just launched & may need moderators for their forum. It allows you to talk about any topic, because its a global forum. Come join me there.
Mod edit: Link removed.

From the forum rules...
Don’t use XDA to advertise your product or service. Proprietors of for-pay products or services, may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or a free version of their product for XDA users and offer support, but not to post with the intention of selling. This includes promoting sites similar/substantially similar to XDA-Developers.com.

I also suspect that forum (if it ever becomes an actual working forum) will be rife with piracy/warez, due to the suggestive name.
Please don't advertise this forum (or any others) on xda again
There is a specific-interest blog which I have put up using the services of a totally free SharePoint internet site from a company called CloudAppsPortal.com and at the moment I think it would be wise to open it up it only for people who I recognize , so that they are the only persons permitted to comment on my post items. Some people let me know that a blog made out of SharePoint features a wide range of restriction controls for stopping unidentified visitors from placing comments on blog sites. Seeking advice from people out here for getting the best method to restrain unidentified site visitors from generating comments in a SharePoint blog.
I was looking in the wayback machine archives. I saw the original mission statement of XDA and it's so comericialized now. Here is the original mission statement from 2005.
The only two things not wrong about the name of this site are the dash and the dot. This site is about certain PDA-phones, made by a secretive firm called HTC in Taiwan. Their makers named them 'Wallaby', 'Himalaya' and 'Blue Angel', but almost nobody knows them by those names. The mobile provider O2 sells them under the brand-name 'XDA', and that's what we had in our hands first. They're also known as Qtek, MDA, SX-56 and many, many other names.
Then there's the 'developers' part: we noticed a profound lack of developer information for these devices. Since we develop software for it, we need information, and nobody seemed eager or ready to give us what we needed. So we 'reverse-engineered' the devices, found a lot of information, and shared it with the world.
But as our site grew we realised that lots of ordinary users were also suffering from a lack of support. They started using the xda-developers forum to communicate and before long the forum was as much a user forum as it was a developer forum.
And then finally there's the 'com' part of our name: we're not very commercial: no banner-ads, no pop-ups and we're not selling anything. The entire site is supported by private donations from the community that uses it. You are encouraged to make a donation if the site is useful to you.
So in short: never mind this site's name. No matter who you are or what brand-name is printed on your phone: if it looks like one of these, this site is for you.
Then there is this on the current rules... B) The site is a relatively small, personal website without commercial advertising / links (i.e. not a competitor forum-based site with purposes and aims similar to those of XDA-Developers......... Yet as we can clearly see is fully comericialized and I'm wondering if this is effecting the original mission statement of......

I found one on Ebay, I never knew what XDA meant.
