New Android Phone & PS.com

My contract expired last year and I have been on the hunt for a new "smart phone",, At my age,, the added brain power is welcome..

So,, pulled the trigger on a HTC Incredible 2.

I do not plan to use this as a laptop, but will experiment with the apps that access the web. Loaded Drudge, FoxNews, FB, and a 1/2 doz others.

Read TR's thread from last year and it appears that Android & Verizon have come a long way.

I picked the HTC I2 for the following
  • GSM World phone, Verizon will un-lock it so I can use my Orange SIMM in the UK
  • Front & rear camera's, We can Skype video to our kids(currently not working)
  • Un-Limited Plan,, got in under the wire, will use WIFI 95% of the time..
  • WIFI, WIFI hot spot, Blue-teeth, PC pass-thur via USB cable to internet
  • SD card slot, so I can load our camera pics to the web and move data from/to the PC
  • It is not an apple


I used the "internet" app to access PS.com.

Did not signed in,, the font is soooo small..

"How Small Is It??"

It's so small that if the page wasn't black I would not be able to see the PS.com title bar & DUI.. The rest of the text is a series of illegible white dots.

In talking to my #2 daughter,, she thinks the site HTML may need tweaking to let it recognize the Android platform and re-size the fonts as needed.

Anyone having the same problem?? Suggestions??
