Trying to make the front page a little more compact for people with portable devices. I made the columns a little larger and I put the ads on the right hand column so that people that view with lower resolution won't have to scroll right to view the page.
I also made all the media sources the same size with a scroll bar on ones that have too many headlines to be displayed.
If you want to check it out it's http://www.albertlea.com/index1.shtml let me know if you think anything should be changed. Kimt will have more headlines in the next couple days when I get a chance to look over the program that retrieves the headlines.

On my my Blackberry Curve 8330 it has been coming up nicely for some time with the forum as the main topic and easy to navigate.
The PMs and messaging doesn't work on my mobile, but I've got no complaints. I'm probably switching to the BB Storm or something else in a few weeks that is hyped up and will ultimately let me down ('cuz I'm a degenerate when it comes to this stuff), but the site looks and works very well as it is on the Blackberry 8330.
By the way - the BB 8330 does many things well - surfs the web, plays music, plays video, takes pictures, streams audio, sends and receives email seamlessly. One thing it doesn't do well? Send and receive PHONE CALLS! I can't hear crap and bluetooth barely helps.

Merely to try is to prepare for failure.

Have you tried albertleamobile.com on your Blackberry 8830?
I had the same problem with my 8830 not being able to hear, I cleaned it with compressed air and it solved the problem.
What type of blue-tooth are you using, I got a Moto S9 this month and love it, both for calls and listening to music and radio. It's the best headset I have used to date.
Yes, RADIO (download the iheartradio app) I can listen to all of ClearChannels radio stations across the county with no problems.

Looks and works great on iPod Touch.
I checked out the S9's after the bluetooth was enabled on the Touch, but went with a little set of bluetooth speakers for casual listening. Also have a Sony bluetooth receiver hooked into Sony's Digital Media Port on my home system, I can listen to ipod (or any other bluetooth device) without being connected via wires.

Since we're on the subject.
Alltel is switching to Verizon on the 17th.
Anyone have any recommendations for smartphones and blue tooth head sets? I currently have the Moto Q which has worked fine but the dog took a big chunk out of it and I need to upgrade.
Priorities are phone functionality, outlook email, and camera.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The biggest problem I've had with the moto q is the short battery life. The company wants you to sign a two year agreement but will not invlude a battery built to last that long and those batteries are expensive. You'd think for $150 bucks a month they could include an extra battery replacement during the contract period for the phones.

CC,
I would say for what you want, a blackberry would be the best choice. I am with TMobile, but I know that my hubby and I studied Verizon's phones back when we thought Unicel was going to Verizon (before FCC said Altell could have em).
As for the mobile site...I can't really do much with it. I can get to the main page, but I can't navigate off of there on my phone. I have internet capabilities on my phone, but it is nothing like a blackberry or a touch phone. Is there anyway to make a WAP version of it...where it is mainly text only, so those of us with the smaller phones can visit??

I thought Unicel was going to AT&T as part of the Alltel Verizon purchase then we (Albert Lea area) would have a provider for the iPhone. It this not the case?

It is the case. Originally, Verizon bought out Unicel...then they bought out Alltel. FCC regulations say that they can only have one tower per city to avoid monopoly, so FCC handed Verizon over to Alltel, while Unicel went into a Managed Trust (and lost our contract). Before Altell could officially become Verizon, someone had to buy out the managed trust in our area. Before that happened, T-mobile came along and joined Albert Lea (people thought THEY were going to buy Unicel). Shortly before word came down of the transfer between Alltel and Verizon, AT&T bought out Unicel...bringing iPhone to Albert Lea.
