NONE. I have one too and it would be like losing my right arm if I had to give it up or lost it...

Yep, that's what we do on the vBulletin forums I run. All ya need is a mobile friendly style installed. Then, there is a plugin available on vbulletin.org that will automatically redirect mobile users to your mobile style. Really easy to set up and there are no apps or anything else needed.

HTC HD2, Nexus One, Motorola Droid, Nokia N97, Samsung I8910

I have used all of them and I have to say that while the iphone is a good phone, it really doesn't compare against these

There are a lot of even better phones out there, but they cost a lot more

Idk i guess its personal preference but I've tried the HTC HD2 and while they are cool phones i just think that the iPhone is better than what's out there because of what i use it for which is talking (obviously lol) texting MMS web and facebook. I sometimes just find it confusing when people say its a crap phone .....just my .02

Well, whether or not the iPhone is the best phone out there is certainly debatable... I have one, and often contemplate going to one with a real keyboard, that can save files easier, etc. But - the point of this thread still remains the same - there are many plugins out there (tapatalk, touchbb, etc) that will work for not only the iphone, but androids, blackberrys, etc... So, my point wasn't really "solve this problem for iphone users" rather - "solve this problem for *mobile* users!"

I definitely get where your coming from and I was just commenting on a single post not the whole thread.

Of course it's not a crap phone, for 300 bucks (I paid so that I could use it prepaid and still have access to the internet, etc.) it's a pretty good smartphone. I'm just saying that there are other phones out there that are are technically better. But for the average everyday user that won't spend 500 or 600 dollars on a new cellphone, then the iphone fits that void perfectly. I mean not everybody needs a $600 phone that has an 8 megapixel camera, amo led screen and full hd, and that's kind of where the iphone fits right in.

I already regularly post by iPhone. It's pretty amazing. I have no idea what I did with myself before the iPhone.

those other phones just seem too normal to me even if they do more than an iphone or look different. I don't know why, but they just seem normal

and salsteeler, you should ask Tran because this is a pretty good idea

Tran - I'll wait for a response, otherwise I will PM you ;-)

Any updates on this from the admins? It's almost unheard of to run a large vbulletin forum these days without at least the option to use a mobile version! This is the future! We need a faster mobile version! Please?

I also would be greatly interested in Tapatalk support. It works with Iphone, Android, Nokia, and Blackberry which pretty much covers the smart phone market.

The tapatalk software is free and only takes 10 minutes to install according to their website. Would be fantastic if this was implemented.
