"Our website does work on the BlackBerry browser" So the mobile website works with BlackBerry but not Android? Huh. The minute you open the keyboard in Android some Javascript scroll thing freaks out and insists on hiding all of the page content on you. It's impossible to use and has been broken for months (both Android 2.2 and 2.3 on sub-4.3" phones). I had just assumed it was only intended for iPhone users and used Orbitz instead.

Hey, thanks a lot for the feedback! I work at KAYAK so I'll make sure this gets to the right people. I don't work on mobile but usually it gets QA'd on a plethora of devices but maybe they didn't hit your corner case somehow. If you'd like to give a bit more information such as specific device names or other stuff, you can reply here or just post feedback at: http://www.kayak.com/feedback/form http://www.kayak.com/feedback/form All feedback always gets read and routed and engineers quite often reply to feedback from their area.

  I sent feedback via the form. Thanks for the link. My uneducated guess is that the autocomplete box scrolling code doesn't handle the sub-4.3" screen resolutions. Devs would be more likely to prefer top of the line phones.

    That would be the case with devs, although we do have some old phones lying around too I think. Anyway, thanks a lot!

    Oof, how is sub-4.3" synonymous with not-top-of-the-line? These ginormous phones are driving me nuts! I won't upgrade my Nexus One until a decent sub-4" screen (Android) phone comes out.

  I havent tested the kayak site, but I had problems with the page randomly scrolling when typing on android the fix was utterly ridiculous and I have no idea as to why this fixed it, but it certainly helped body > * { -webkit-backface-visibility: visible; -webkit-transform: none; }

    Huh. That is really odd. That could very well be what's going on with the Kayak site. I just assumed there was some helpful autoscrolling thing going on. Thanks for sharing!
