With my Blackberry, yes. Go to sites using the .mobi extension. Popular
sites (ESPN, CNN, etc all have special versions intended for mobile phones
and browsers. www.espn.go.mobi. www.foxnews.mobi. www.cnn.mobi. All work
well, and if your provider has a high-speed network, are mostly text only,
formatted for small screens. I'm on T-Mobile with my BB, on their Edge
network. Website load in about 4-6 seconds, not bad. Probably a bit
faster than the old 9600 bps modems days .

I believe so.

I think most these days.

No Clue
