- There are many more sites around for mobiles
than you would think, when you consider how little you hear of them. Unfortunately,
many of them are either no longer active or filled
with useless links. Thumbtips saves you time
and money by checking out these sites and eliminating the duds.
However, one excellent site is well worth bookmarking, 
click4wap
(uk/ us/world). This portal contains many active
links in well defined groups. An added bonus is a brief description
of each site within the link. Many of the links seem to be
high quality. Perhaps the best feature of Click4wap
though is its' excellent local guide offering
location based info, worldwide.
Highly recommended!

- As thumbtips evolves we'll be refining our
menu organisation and link assignments. Sometimes
links will be duplicated or transferred to a more suitable section, all
to aid fast, intuitive access. We've now
added 3 new sections: location,
for geo-based services (zip, postcode, etc.); music/video
for media related sites and downloads; and hot sites!
for the young, hip or edgy! We'll soon be adding a download
section for the usual fare of ringtones, wallpapers etc. but there are
much more interesting features, unique to Thumbtips, that will be unveiled
soon.

- With strong interest in Thumbtips coming in
from many countries we'll definitely be adding an international
section of the best mobile links for non-english-speaking
countries. Watch for this soon.

- We've just discovered probably the most comprehensive
portal for the mobile web webcab
and it makes us reflect on the need for Thumbtips. Webcab
is a german-based, english language site that conforms totally with the
web standards for access across all platforms, mobile and PC. .
It has a large amount of mostly wap links
with excellent brief descriptions of each, for many
countries. It offers the Wireless Web Entry (WWE)
service as a start point to many mobile resources, and they've been doing
this since 1999! We recommend that anyone seeking content or services
for mobiles should either check google
(mobile web) or our listings first, then, if you don't find
what you need, go to Webcab. You'll find
it, along with other useful link collections, in our portals
section. As for us, our mission is
to provide a fast, easy route to the best (not all)
of the mobile web for on-the-go mobile access. If you need in-depth
browsing or a PC-friendly mobile directory then thumb a ride in
the Webcab.

- If you're looking for the best
premium content on the web (ie: paid for), look no further than !Bango.
Surely no company out there 'gets' the mobile web better than these guys!
We'll be running a feature pretty soon on the future
dominant leader of the mobile web (enough gushing!). For now if you're
looking for U-rated or Adult
content go !bango
. You'll find them, along with
other useful link collections, in our portals
section.

- The
more we do with Thumbtips the more surprised (and pleased!) we are at the
new capabilities opened up. Check this: since many of our links are html
based (instead of wap) you can use your PC browser
to preview links and sites at home or office (we don't mean a screenshot
, actually use them!). Then, when you're on the road, you know exactly where
to go. Try that with a wap site or Avantgo™! As more companies get
hip to the possibilities we believe the mobile web
is going to explode! The Thumbtips site on the PC is the same url.
Go Fish!.

- Mobile Tip #001 : Instead
of using the Back button
in your browser it can work out faster, and more economical,
to use your history list to
return to a previous page. Depending on how your phone handles its cache
this can avoid repeat downloads, but don't forget to refresh
or reload if you need up-to-the-minute pages.

- If you subscribe to Hotmail
or Yahoo mail and you haven't figured out how to get it thru your
phone yet why not get it directly from their mobile-friendly
sites? Our EMAIL SECTION has the links but
be careful, if your inbox is loaded the message
download can take a while and add up in bandwidth! email...

- If you're not just a fan but a FANATIC
like some people we know (ahem!) then you need to check out our
SPORTS section. We have mobile-ready
links to the major multi-sport sites like
ESPN and SKY SPORTS and the specialist
ones like Guardian Soccer so thumbs up for
Thumbtips and go to sports...

- Most GPRS Always-on Internet Browsers are free
to use for browsing connections. Users are only charged for the data
downloads incurred by the amount of text on the page and any ather media
such as pictures, sounds or video. Users should check
their network providers for exact pricing info. Increasing the pricing
plan by a few pounds or dollars can often yield significant savings. For
example stepping up on Vodafone from 100 to 200 free minutes per month costs
about £10.00 more yet per megabyte download rates drop from £7.00+
to approximately £2.00+. That can translate
to several dozen pages! Check it out! Thumb
