 |
|
Can you use this on other phones besides the iphone (which you need AT&T for?). I have t-mobile, would the app work on the T-Mobile MyTouch 3G phone? If not, do I just have to wait a year and then it will be available for more phones? I have no idea how these apps work. I have a simple cell phone right now and have no experience with cell internet or apps, but I would like to have the internet on the phone to find nearby caches on a whim, be able to read logs, see cache size, etc.
Should I just get a blackberry and use Geocache Navigator or Cacheberry to start out with? |

Nope, this is only available for the iPhone. To my knowledge iPhone apps are not portable to other platforms or phones.

Nope See previous.

I don't think this will be on more phones. I hope that they eventually create other versions such as one for the android platform as I think that will be the next big dominate platform for smart phones.

If you get a blackberry, than those are fine choices for paperless caching. Keep in mind that you don't need any app if you have a data connection as you can just visit the wap site at wap.geocaching.com from your mobile browser.
I hope that helps!

I used to use the wap site (and still go back to it from time to time), but lately I've just been using the full site. I have a site bookmarked that loads quick that allows me to load cache pages rather than loading the gc.com page to load a cache page.
