MSN Mobile beta

I was getting around to blog about this but Kurt and Mike both beat me to it, so in order to add something to their posts, and not just do the lazy bloggers trick of just having a set of links without any context.   I'll include some pictures and a list of features that I received from the beta test team the other day.

MSN Mobile is the best of MSN optimised for your phone or mobile device’s Internet browser, and we are inviting you to join us in making our new and improved MSN Mobile experience first rate!

# re: MSN Mobile beta

surely it should work on most devices? I would have thought that's a css / html/ xml  coding certainty.

First impressions : why can't I customise it? I don't want to know the weather in Redmond or the fact that there's a challenge to handgun law in washington D.C. I want to be able to choose and be presented with my own content

and talk AT the beta  team via email? - where's the blog? come on people, email as a mechanism for getting feedback is inefficient and very 20th century.

You can change your city in weather by clicking on the Lookup Weather link on homepage Weather module.  

Our msn mobile team blog is launching next week.  We'll be making full use of our blog as the main means of communications to our beta users. Don't worry about that.
