Not to mention the huge number of cheap mobile phone deals out there this will only create thousands more mobile internet users.

It doesn't have the Next links at the bottom of each page, and I go backwards to the home page, but as the page is smaller at only 12k plus images, it's quite quick to load. [And before anyone says the new site is only 8k plus images, it has far less real content]I really dislike the new site. I want the news; I don't need the eye candy. One rather important thing which is missing is the "teaser" text under the headline; and I get a link "More top stories" instead of the list shown in the blog image here. And there are loads of stories on the front page itself, all with the nub of the story under the headline. So I shall continue to use the PDA news page until that's withdrawn.Incidentally, with Opera Mini, you need to use www.bbc.co.uk/mobile and not www.bbc.co.uk/news (so the help page could be updated). Please DON'T change this behaviour! Because of that I don't know if it's just the "mobile" URL, but that does have the "Next story" link at the bottom. Trying the "mobile" site in a desktop browser doesn't have the "Next story" link.Also: Opera Mobile seems to get the UK Have Your Say on the mobile news site, which is different from the main News site. Oops.

I design a university website and constantly use the BBC for inspiration.

Mon 11 May 2009 05:47:02 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/theeditors/2009/05/new_mobile_site_for_news.html?page=4#comment6 I miss the next function too.I realise that the new website is created to look and feel similar to the desktop website, but the whole point of it is that it's not used like a desktop website.I don't have a large viewing screen, multiple tabs and a mouse on my mobile phone, so I can't use the website in the same way.At the moment I have to keep flicking the back button, waiting for it to reload, scrolling down to the news story and selecting the next news story in the list - incredibly tedious on a phone when you have a slow connection. I've started looking at newspaper websites instead, specifically the Guardian website as they maintain the easy-to-use next and previous buttons.

On the subject of the "next" function - the new service more closely resembles the desktop website, so the navigation works in a different way. We're hoping you'll find that the improvements on navigation to related stories, special coverage and other sections will more than make up for its absence.

In this regard though I agree with SRClark that link to the next article at the foot of each story would also be useful to eradicate unnecessary navigation.Overall, an effective clean and responsive site - thanks to you and your team. Thanks also to the BBC Mobile team who helped me solve a particular problem I had loading the BBC Home page on my device - they were quick, helpful, and polite.
