Hi,

I just wondered whether there is anyway to view Usenet on a mobile
phone? My phone has an opera browser, so is there a similar program
for Usenet? If so, are these available for all phones or just the
expensive ones?

If there are no proper Usenet clients, would I have to use something
like google groups? Are there any other similar web sites that you
would recommend?

TIA

Which mobile 'phone? In the absence of a proper client, Google Groups
is usable, if not ideal.

I have had 2 types of expensive mobile phone in the last 4 years, one had
the Windows Mobile operating system and the newest one has the Android
operating system. There are some oldish usenet clients for Windows Mobile
such as QMAIL and there is one for the Android called Groundhog newsreader,
I currently use this and its pretty good better IMO then QMAIL on Windows
Mobile. If you have an iPhone of Symbian phone then I do not know if there
are usenet clients for those operating systems or any other.

If you can`t get a usenet client then google groups is the only other option
but its not a great option.

There is a news-reader called Groundhog for Android phones.

I run Joikuspot Premium on my Symbian mobile to give me a wifi
connection to enables my iPod Touch to access the internet. I run
NewsTap app on the Touch.
