3. I used to read it on my little screen
BB Pearl, now I have a full screen. Can you change the way your phone views the page? I have a Page View and a Column View. That makes a big difference. Can you zoom in and out to make the posts smaller?

4. Depends on the resolution of your phone.
I just resized DU down in my browser, and for it to be completely usable without horizontal scrolling, you need about 640 pixels wide.

Scaled narrower than that and you don't have complete functionality. Message box text will shrink OK down to about 320 pixels wide, but commands in the message area will not scale by forming a double line. So, you're going to be severely restricted with less than about 640 pixels.

5. I am trading in Blackberry for LG Tritan and I am hoping the landscape view will help.
I won't have it until tomorrow so I do not know what settings are on it. Wish I could get an iPhone, but USCellular is very good for my area and very limited for phones. I am so excited to have a browser I have to be able to browse DU!

6. DU automatically narrows on my Blackberry
I don't know how it would do on an old school cell phone.

8. It's a little strange on my Blackberry.
Sometimes it scales down perfectly and other times I find myself having to scroll back and forth. If you have multiple browser apps available for your phone you could try a new one and see if that helps.
