I have been using FROG for over a year now and it has improved incredibly.

You can now customize 8 out of the 9 links. The only one you can’t is the mobile search which I think is perfect. You can also now very easily ‘Jump’ to other sites that you don’t want to put on your homepage. FROG TV and FM are also very cool. There are many new channels and stations and it’s all free. If you have a good high speed connection on your phone, you will love it. I highly recommend FROG.

@Angel good to know! However, with the customizable links, it’s not really targeted towards an advanced user who is going to have their own links. They are more targeting people who have no idea that the mobile web is as rich as it is, and in that regards, I’d say they’re getting close to successful.

I wonder how a regular non-smartphone would handle it?

The page worked fine with my n73. Going directly to getfrog.com via the Web Browser took me directly to a page that asked for my phone. It has a drop down list that lists only Treos and Palms. When I chose “Not listed” it said my phone wasn’t compatible. So I went back and chose Treo 700wx (or something like that) and it worked fine (as it did with every option available). And from what I can tell, there is no reason why non-qwerty phones would not be compatible. As mentioned, it works just fine with my non-qwerty n73. Anyhow, the page is basically just a page with bookmarks but the biggest downside, in my opinion, is that the links are NOT customizable. The first 5 links are static. There’s no changing them. And for the last 4 you can choose from a pre-made list of links (flicker, bank of america, yellow pages, etc). I like the icon links. But I don’t like that you can’t use your own links. I think this would be great as a mobile bookmarks page if only the links were fully customizable…
