"Before 2007, using the internet on your phone would make you want to kill yourself, if you were dumb enough to believe the crap splattered across that tiny screen even was the "internet." But the combination of increased bandwidth and better mobile software means that more phones really are promising to deliver the real internet, in living color. We tested eight different browsers, and while some put smiles on our faces, others proved that rendering HTML correctly is a far cry from actually giving you an awesome web experience. And what about 3G vs. Wi-Fi? Everything the carriers have told you is a lie. This is the true state of mobile web."

Sorry Eugenia, I should have been more clear. The original content on OSNews shows up fine, it's external links to the source articles that are often buggered by their respective web servers. This happens from other sites as well, particularly lowendmac.com as nearly every Mac news site is faulty in this respect.
The only issue I've ever had here is commenting from a BlackBerry; it simply doesn't work. It worked fine on the iPhone if I forced it to load the full standard version of the site.

The mobile version of osnews DOES have the FULL articles, it is fully usable. The only problem is if you are coming from the full page and you are following a link, because since v4 of osnews, the URLs changed, and the mobile version doesn't support them. You need to email Adam, our webmaster, about it and explain the problem. I did so a year ago, but nothing happened.
