Not officially launched yet but you might like a sneak peek - try it and tell us what you think... just go to the usual website address, but on your mobile (it should work for all but deffo works for an iphone)

Fantastic!! (using iphone)

Really like it. I didn't have a big look round, but was easy to navigate and excellent for getting a summary of all the overnight news. I always got frustrated by slow load times on 3Giphone and trying to time when I clicked on the top stories banner on the full site (had a habit of loading the opposite story that I was after). This was a very welcome improvement in both speed and usability, and the option to revert back to the full site if desired is much appreciated.

The only thing I feel I'm missing using the mobile version as compared to the full site is the ability to add comments. The articles and comments load up fast but unless I'm missing something I have to revert to the full site to add comments myself.

Other things that would be neat:
*(as above) The ability to add comments to articles through mobile site.
*A tab/page to see World news would also be nice, but I can understand if that's not the focus of this mobile site.
*A page showing last rounds results, the current A-league ladder, and top goal scorers. It could also show the socceroos last result and next fixture. (the official a-league site is more painful to load on a mobile than 442 full site)

But overall, I love it.

Looks alright to me.

I'll need to whinge to Virgin as to why my internet isn't working first.

I was using it on Sunday to confirm GCU loss whilst I was at the SFS. Then I read the article and was laughing at the comments posted during SFC's half time.

And I don't have n iPhone. Just some little Nokia thing.

Idni if he work hard can he get an iphone too?

i tried the page but it was getting to like 95% loaded and not going any more, thats on a sony ericson, you know the ones that everyone has with the orange back! Don't know whether its the site or my mobil internet?

But good idea, then i can check the scores when i'm out!

love the new site. very user friendly, simple and fast for getting info when on the go. got sick of trying to load foxsports to check scores and headlines on my iphone

Looks good KA, from my Iphone. Any plans to have a mobile version of the forum?

It's a work in progress...

Commenting on articles via mobile version... quite possibly yes.

Mobile version of forusm..... one word...... No.

I used to go on the internet from my phone and come on the forums anyway haha. Worked fine for me on my Nokia N95 8GB.

The forum posting in the old mode was better. But reading articles in the mobile mode is good, it would be easier if the front page was all links to articles, rather than summary lines being included.

Also the forum posts on one page is fantastic. It would be good if the long articles/blogs - for example the top 50 Australian players was the same.

By the way, that's on BlackBerry.

Has anyone been able to see the match day text update/matchcast on their mobile? 442 is the best on PC, but on mobile I have to use Fox.

Haha cool. Forums work fine on my Ipod anyway, so I'm not really fussed.

I feel poor...
