Sounds like first-world problems! :)
HN works great on my EDGE (2G) Blackberry 8700g (2006) with Opera in SF. Handy on the Muni. Basically no other site is usable at this point unless it's HTML-only.
However, I understand that telcos are attempting to not support 2G any longer, so don't plan on that working much longer. T-mobile still has fairly good urban EDGE coverage, except for SF FiDi.
> I couldn't get any other site to load. Not even google.com.
The google UI appears minimal, but they're loading a ton of javascript.
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoIs that blackberry your daily driver? Why? Just broadly curious! :)
- mc3 7y agoYeah it said "3G" but it seemed more like 33.6kbps dial up speeds of yore based on the experience. I've gone through extended periods of using both 3G and 33.6kbps to know the feel! But still 1st world problems. A CB or ham radio would have been nice though!
