LG Gossip web browser was designed for WEB OPTIMIZED PAGES ( note: if you want a defintiion..google it  ). this implies that there will be some webpages that it can not  display since the website did not design any web optimized pages.

 

An example :

 

on the PC : note the url addy of google ( www.google.ca or www.google.com or etc....)...

 

on the LG Gossip : go to the google home page and then view the page addy / property / url.....you should notice that the google url should be something like http://wap.google.com/m  ( m = mobile ---> web optimized page )

standard data rates apply if you use IM app on LG Gossip.  you are better off getting a data day/week/month pass.

certain applications such as Fido IM, Mobile Mail, Mobile Backup, and Fido On Demand, also incur a monthly subscription fee, so even if you have the $10 option, the use of those applications are not included.

false info on fido website then? I thought $1 day/$3 data week passes lets you browse the internet, as well as use the built in mobilemail.

its always been my understanding that mobile mail is a seperate subscription service, you pay a monthly fee, ie: 5 dollars a month to gain access to it. now this could have changed but if you dont need surfing, and only access to mail, then this is a cheap solution since any data the program uses your not charged for it, it comes out of the subscription fee, and if you HAVE a data plan, this option still wont work unless u subscribe, thats what ive been told, hopefully someone from fido can clarify this to u

What do you mean by "browse all sites normally?" Are you referring to the use of a mouse/cursor function?  If so no you cannot because the LG Gossip does not have an actual cursor.  It just has an arrow that resembles a cursor, but does not have the actual mobility of a mouse cursor.  It might be saying that the page is too large because it exceeds the capabilities of the mobile internet browser of the phone.
