I have a couple of online stores/websites that I periodically have to go into the cpanel to make changes on, monitor sales, etc...
I currently have a different phone and while I can log into the site, I can't really see anything and it is a pain in the blank to deal with.
Is there anybody here that uses a smartphone and accessing the control panel of their sites? Is it a hassle?
I am interested in the 8700c, Treo 700p or HP 6900 and just more than a little bit interested in accessing my data and information on the go...Just wanted a couple of viewpoints from this forum if possible...

as a web designer/cell phones sales man/windows mobiles enthusiast i can tell you one thing. if you want to save yourself a huge headache make sure the backend/frontend is designed in xhtml/css mobile standards. the problem with a lot of websites on the internet is that they are just thrown together. tables are used improperly as well as font tags as far as the eye can see. everything is just mixed together, no structure what-so-ever. if you can see it fine in your desktop browser then you’re good to go but the truth is proper web design extends a whole lot further then that. it might seem like a pain in the rump to redesign your whole site to properly use xhtml/css mobile standards but if you want a site that looks fantastic no matter what browser it is viewed in, mobile or in any variety of desktop, then it is worth the extra hours of designing. :)

if you have any further questions on the subject throw me a PM and ill give you a couple links that can get you headed in the right direction ;)
