Anyone else trying to play from a Treo? (in General)

I've been trying to play from my treo for the last couple of days. it hasn't been very successful. handspring packaged a pretty sketchy browser along with palmos5. it doesnt seem to like the sidebar frame and crashes randomly. for some reason scrolling horizontally at cb.com also makes the browser want to crash.

so my question is if anyone else has tried playing from a treo and if so what software have you had success with? I've been looking on-line for a couple of days and the mozilla (minimo) and opera projects for palmos haven't been updated for a year or so. are there any good web browsers out there? i don't mind paying for one, I'd just rather not pay for three or four and find that none of them work very well.

I play on an N-Gage with the Netfront browser. Playing with frames in CB2 sends Netfront into fits of page redirections as CB2 tries to make you use the frame, was much easier in CB1. However, I've found a decent work around if you are a supporter.

Build a favorite list at your computer. When you access on your mobile, load the page with your favorites. That page doesn't try to trigger the full frame, and neither does the fight outcome page. Just use your favorite list to initiate fights. It's not perfect, but it allows you to use your BA while away from your computer.

Ask Ellis. I've seen him play on a Treo

I got a similar gadget now, but i can't seem to get it to work correctly.
It's running a PalmOS 5, and i tried 3 different browsers.

Web Pro says it can handle cookies, but does not let me in
Blazer cannot navigate the 'javascript:' links
Xiino just shows me one frame (very mangled) or the other, and no botchecks :(

Anybody got some other browsers for PalOS 5.x that will let me spend my BA?

Phaete, if you are looking to spend BA, go with:

Blazer cannot navigate the 'javascript:' links

and use my technique for playing on a cell phone. The favorites page has non-java links to fight opponents. You'll need to build your fight list at a full function browser, but you'll be able to at least fight with the PDA. The forums do not use javascript to browse. Also, if Blazer can handle drop down lists, you'll be able to train your minions as well by going directly to the training page.
