Tips for websites that load slow or bad on the G1

Here are some tips that I found in other forum.

--------------------(copy & paste from another forum)--------------------------

Try finding iphone versions of websites. i'll use Engadget as an example. if you just go to www.engadget.com it will load the full page. take a while and will not display it perfectly.

but go to the iphone version at i.engadget.com it's made to work on the iphone, and there for any other mobile device such as the G1. loads much quicker since it's made for a mobile device.

Lots of big major websites have iphone versions so it's worth it to take a look and use those if you want to save some time loading pages when you don't need the full version.

For me i'm using moviefone, engadget, joystiq, CBS news, facebook. they all work great.

Sometimes you'll find one that requires safari but most of them will work in any html browser.

i know a lot of people prefer the normal webpage, but for those of us who are still on EDGE this makes sites load a lot faster and it's still just as good.

here are some links:

This is great. Thank you! I know a lot of people might find this useful, especially those in areas that do not yet have 3G coverage :-)

MoonWell11,
anytime and I like the idea that you are back, we missed you,  also   did you see if they sent your order or still not?    I knew that  tmobile will start sending pre orders from 27 to 30
let me know if you have any update from yours.
