Uncovering Great Mobile Websites

Cell phones are becoming the computer and internet device of choice for thousands-and-thousands of users every day. The question though becomes just what kind of user-experience are these people getting with the browser that’s available on their phones?

Many Some websites develop a special mobile version of their site that’s usually accessible by entering their domain with variation like http://m.thedomain.com that lets the site know you’re interested in specially formatted version of the site for a mobile device.

There are some browsers that are developed specifically for using on a cell phone or smart phone, but I still find that the sites that are specifically formatted to display correctly for mobile devices themselves still provide the best user-experience.

But what are some nicely formatted websites that work well with small screen and mobile interface?

Here are some of my favorites:

• http://m.gmail.com
• http://m.twitter.com
• http://m.brightkite.com
• http://m.bloglines.com
• http://m.facebook.com
• http://m.espn.go.com
• http://m.youversion.com

All of these sites display very well for small screens and still maintain all the core functionality and usefulness of their fully-displayed versions.

What are some of your favorite mobile websites?
