Railtrack Timtable - rail.kizoom.co.uk

Connex - www.connexwap.net/cx.wml
Useful when Connex South Eastern can't be bothered to run trains and don't give any station announcements!

and of course DigitalSpy on wap.digitalspy.co.uk

News and weather: I just use Orange's portal.

I use Amazon a bit as I find it useful to compare prices whilst in a high street shop

Oh and of course a program I wrote myself to check any pop3 email account via WAP

Try http://www.esato.com/web/ from here. They have a wap site where you can download cool images, themes and ringtone using your mobile. (On the wap address. of course)

Kizoom is useful for train times for the whole country in general, nice journey planning tool on there, and live "departure boards" for many stations (although sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't) - railtrack.kizoom.co.uk

Other than that, Amazon.co.uk for checking status of orders and AOL for my AOL e-mail and buddy list and mail2wap for my POP3 boxes.

I use Ananova (WAP.ANANOVA.COM) and I look at all other websites using Google's web search (WAP.GOOGLE.COM/wml)

http://sky.com/mobile Sky News - for checking football scores

http://mobile.cricinfo.com CricInfo - for ball by ball cricket scores.

Ananova is pretty good for news and entertainment.

Google Search is a useful one, it will search just WAP pages for you. Kizoom as already mentioned. Yahoo, Vizavvi, BBC, Ents24 (cinema info) are also in there. Even got Digital Spy, but don't need it anymore (not now they've created an AvantGo channel, I can download it all to my PDA before I go out )

I use this one to check the weather at my local beach when I want to go Kite Surfing.

Haven't used it in a while though for some reason!

Are there any sites that support IMAP servers as well, or is that asking too much!!?

I can PM you the details but you'll need a PHP compliant server with IMAP compiled into it (it uses the IMAP functions of PHP regardless of whther you want to use POP3 or not... it does therefore work with IMAP too)

I have a commercial version that lets you send emails as well as read them via wap too.
