i think it'd b cool if v could check the newest deals while were out, not to mention post when u c a good deal and have all the detials. or is it even possible to have some kind of forum running on cell phones?

That's a great idea, CAG would encompass all!

Hmm...doesn't CAG have a setup so you'll be IMed when a new deal is posted? And don't some cell phones run Instant Messenger?

Putting two and two together... :D

It wouldn't work for everyone, but it's a possible solution.

You could also do text messages to cell phones / pagers. That would be pretty nice.

You'd have to setup a special WAP portion for the website. As for the IM... Better get the standard one working 100% before you add cellphone functionality to it. And with all these morons applying a warning to the bot... *sigh* You get the picture.

But it's still an awesome idea!

(The exact question I was about to ask, like 6 months later :( )
... any updates on a possibility of a cag wap site or text messaging in the near or far future

If this happened, my life would grind to a halt. CAG takes enough of my time as is. I don't need it encompassing every aspect of my life. That being said, it would be awesome.

I was thinking the exact same thing after the whole overstock.com madness. Luckily I did get in on that, but I have a feeling it won't go through. I started thinking about all the other great deals I missed out on like the GBA SP for $49.99 or the GBA and e-reader for $30 something..

Hey, cna you post to cag from your cell? Suppsoedly there's a site out there that lets you instantly post text and pictures from camera phones.

Imagine being in BB or CC amnd being able to post a pick of exactly what they have or your receipt or something like that.

I don't know what this will look like on a cellphone, but someone can give it a try.

I'm never using wireless internet again because I added it to my plan for $3.99/m (supposed to use minutes instead of data transfer) anyway, it didn't work, and so now I'm looking at $50 in wireless internet charges (and the next bill is going to be even worse)
damn those free cell phone games...

I tried to access the site but T-mobile is trying to charge me for it. Fuck that. I'm not going to pay them for content they don't provide.
