theres zero no way to view comments w/ this new mobile version. not only can't i not view, i can't submit any comments either.

viewing full version of joystiq doesn't stick. it only shows up fo rthe homepage, doesn't apply to subsequent or sub pages. so even if i click on the comments link after viewing full page, it takes me to the mobile page.... !

I have to echo billybil's comment. I appreciate the new format, but one of my favorite things to do while reading Joystiq is to read the comments left by its patrons. When I try to view the full Joystiq to go back to the comments, it redirects me to the m.joystiq.com Web site.

I agree with RD and billybil, I can't read the comments on my phone. I don't really care about posting comments as it's nearly impossible to type on a cellphone without me wanting to break it in half out of frustration. At least it's better than Kotaku. It takes me at least 50 presses of the down button before I can see the first article.

Opera Mini, Opera Mobile, and Opera DS FTW!! Handles the regular joystiq just fine...using mini for this reply in fact.

Great! But guys, make sure you test it on SDTVs too, we don't want to have any angry 360 customers calling in...

I've actually been using the mobile Joystiq since Tuesday. Apparently T-Mobile sells phones... from the future! Great works guys, I finally have something to live for, as my job still has not given me a computer.

I liked the full view on my BlackBerry. I wish there was a default URL I could go to on my mobile to display all the text and pictures. Or maybe add "full view" to the top of the page

Is anyone else getting really confused lately by things like bv (#6) responding to billybil (#5) and RD (#10)? I've only noticed this in the past few days, what the heck is going on here?

There should be a button to return to normal view. I'll talk with the tech ninjas about making sure people can always get to the normal page.

Not sure about comments working with the mobile layout. I assume they're left out for data considerations, but perhaps a link to activate any given post's comments?

C. Grant - A link to show the links would work just fine. We don't always read the comments on every story; giving a choice to view them would be superb. Thank you again for making the move to accomodate PDA and phone users...I can't go one hour without viewing Joystiq.com.

Thank you.
I was hoping you guys would follow suit after Engadget did this a little while ago.

I am growing tired of trying to read RSS feeds through Google Mobile's converter. Hopefully more of the blogs I read will follow suit.

I noticed this earlier in the week. It's cool, but you need to get the comments running on the mobile site. Even if you go to full joystiq and then try to access the comments it directs you back to the mobile site.

Yeah, I just use opera mini which handles it fine. This should be good though if I just need a quick update.

I just updated my site (http://fiddley.com) to include a mobile version as well... My method is strictly manual but I'd love to sniff for browsers. Do you mind sharing your sniffer code?

Thanks, RD!

I didn't realize there would be such demand for comments (they've been so ... vitriolic lately), but I'll certainly communicate your requests to the tech ninjas.

I need to check Joystiq too every second I'm away from the computer! This helps me the most.

Moogle: I don't follow. What's up?

I think I just don't understand how post order and time relate to one another. Authorizing w/ email doesn't affect either. bv (8:03) was responding to RD (7:41), so the time must be set when you hit the submit button. But bv's post (#6) appears before RD's (#10), so I can only figure that post order is set when you first load the comments page, maybe? It's just confusing.

Like the new page setup. Looks great on my Treo. BUT....I TOO CAN"T DISPLAY ANY COMMENTS ANYMORE.

Sorry for the caps, but I wanted the complaint to stick out among the "great!" replies.

Please fix it. I actually had a better time with Joystiq on my Treo previously, even though it took slightly longer to load.

Thanks.

Yeah I noticed that the format had changed a couple of days ago when I used my Treo at work to check the site, much appreciated guys, keep up the good work.

It looks amazing on the DS Browser in the vertical double screen view. But I would find it useful if there would be a button that would say read comments instead of go to original view or watever it is!
