Hello, I've been wondering this all week since I got my blackjack. I have come to find I cannot access all websites on the internet and I was wondering why. You see, I play MMORPGs and when I'm out and about I like to read the various online forums associated with these games. On my phone I find one particular sight, http://www.Killingifrit.com loads up perfectly fine on my phone. However another site (the one I read more frequently when at a desktop), http://ffxi.allakhazam.com, will not load up on phone. It starts to then seems to freeze.

Is this because a site needs to support WindowsMobile, or perhaps some other reason I am not aware of? Does my phone need more RAM? Perhaps something else?

There are numerous reasons for this. I'll run through some of them so you can get an idea of what's going on.

1) IE Mobile is not the same as IE, it doesn't support all the same things. There's no Flash, limited Ajax, etc... So, while something things are supported, not everything is and thus not everything can be viewed

2) The sites you visit might not be mobile aware. If they are not, they could be pushing large files (sounds, pictures, flash) down to the device and clogging up your bandwidth.

3) The CSS and formating used on the site might not be supported on IE Mobile. You can change the default view and sometimes this will help load some of those awkward sites.

There are a couple different services that you can use that will browse the site you are requesting and repackage it for your mobile screen and then send you the page. Most of them work in your browser, so it's pretty easy to do. Look at Green Light Wireless, and Skweezer.

Hope that helps a little
