Is there going to be a mobile version of the great CF?

Hey guys! So my mom may be about to give me her blackberry, and I would like to come to this site on there, but as I only will get 150mb a month, I can't use the full version of this site.

Is there a mobile version I'm not aware of or will there be? I think there was a thread when I originally joined and we decided no, but I wanted to know if there was an update to it.

Thanks, (and hope y'all had good holidays)

I highly doubt that Ian will make a mobile version of the site. I was my blackberry 8530 from sprint to view the site when I was at work. It wasn't bad but If you really want to use a smartphone to view computerforum, then I highly recommend getting a droid phone. I have the HTC EVO 4G phone at its awesome. Nice big screen and all it takes to zoom in is pinching your fingers in or out.
 
Maybe not a full-on mobile version, but a "mobile" VBulletin theme wouldn't be too hard to implement, I don't think. Something like what [H] has, maybe?
 
^ I second the thought of a mobile-based forum skin! I'm sure it would cut down on some of the download sizes, by cropping out images, ads, and other small things that contribute...

Irrelevant comment here, but I have Wi-Fi enabled on my Sony Ericsson phone, so of course download size is not an issue for me, but I can say that CoFo does not take up much space in regards to the download size... Bookmark certain sub-forums from CoFo that you would usually visit to avoid downloading the whole home page to navigate to it.

But I agree with a mobile skin, and if this is ever implemented, maybe some newer full version skins too. :P Jumping ahead maybe?
