is the treo 650 smartphone good for accessing the web and sportsbooks?

[LucaBrasi]

Thanks Savant -

......a couple of follow-ups........

Is it difficult to navigate through the screens at any particular sportsbook with the Treo?

How does the RX appear on the Treo?

 

[SportSavant]

the treo has a browser called BLAZER,

you can set the screen to appear as 'optimized' which is more of a top down view (ideal for the treo).

OR

you can view it as a 'normal' view, normal is not very good as you have to move the page from right to left all the time, instead of only up & down like when using optimized...


other than that the websites (pinnacle or RX or CBSsportsline) appear exactly as they do on a normal computer, (other than the fact that the page is optimized for a UP/DOWN view with a longer narrower page).


One thing I did notice is that the little drow down menus that are available on the website to modify a total on a MLB game for example, do not appear when navigating the site on the treo.

remember, you can always use the treo to actually CALL the various sportsbooks aswell.....:lolBIG:

Furthermore, navigatting is very easy as you can TAP any link on the page with the STYLUS, a pen that allows you to tap the screen, You can use this to tap any link anytime.

This is good stuff....I was thinking about purchasing one, but know it is a definate.

Remembe everyone you are still working with a 2 inch by 2 inch screen, so be realistic. Also remember we are ONLY talking about the 650 not the 600. DO not let salesman talk you into a value with the 600. not even the same

you can access Pinny's regular website no problem, wether or not you can access the HORSES not sure, I have never played horses.... is it a seperate url?

give it to me & I will check it....

SS,
It's in the second column of the front page at the top. On the Treo I would imagine it should be just above the Weather, Gas, Emmy wagering prompts. If you look at the website on your computer it would give you a better idea of where to look on your Treo.

I just walked in with one..its on the charger now. After a good charge I wonder if anyone has any advice for the best way to learn how to use the dam thing? I gota bit of Attention Deficit Dissorder so help a brother out... I know I could read the manul cover to cover...but is that what anyone would advise?

Other Recommendations

Does anyone "across the pond" or here N the States use the "SIEMENS SK65" 2 make plays @PINNACLE or any other stores ? Mentioned to my "friends" offshore several years ago that this way of placing action would B "the shit" N the States very soon . Has not taken off as quickly as I thought but think it will. Seems like N Europe this is very prevalent already N some circles. Looking into making a deal with a phone manufacturer or provider 2 market 2 "players" . Thanx 4 input

That was one of the problems I had with mine.

If someone can place a horse wager (not matchup) via it, please let me know. I'll spot you the $2...

my experience

i love the phone. as far a horses on pinny (NO) you cannot do it on the treo650 i even call pinny about it. seems to be something to do with the java application. heard online pinny was working on an application for the palm. doubt it though. i use it daily....pinny. other fourms. (NO) you cant watch youbet.com live horses. wwts software rocks also but lines suck. got the bluetooth speakphone for the car it rocks also. i have been trying software for it and would be happy to share any that i buy in near future.
