    Personally I have found FerrariChat.com to be fully mobile 'as is' on Palm Treo and Blackberry Palm through mobile browser, but finally there was a decent enough mobile app for us to implement now.

    Some of you may already be familiar with Tapatalk from other forums, FerrariChat.com is the first Ferrari related forum to be on Tapatalk.

    Most phones you can simply download Tapatalk from your app center. Search for FerrariChat and you can access as guest or login.

    A few phones Tapatalk is still in beta, like the Blackberry. You will need to access www.tapatalk.com directly from your phone and download the beta application.

    Tapatalk is amazing on the iPhone and Droid based on my testing. For Blackberry it still needs a little work, which is probably why it is still Beta. Please report your findings with various phone platforms and we'll keep an updated list.

    Works Great
    iPhone
    Droid

    Works OK
    Blackberry

    That's great news.

    FWIW - Snapshot of current percentage of mobile OS accessing F-Chat - overall, 7.4% of all OS.

    iPhone 4.4%
    iPad 2.4%
    Blackberry 0.6%

    I'm using it with my Droid right now! Once I was sent the 2.2 software download, I found FChat was with taptalk. Its amazing how simple it is.

    So far on the BlackBerry Storm the phone browser works better than Tapatalk.

    Thanks.

    That's funny. We had that same thing in our High School!


    Motorola Droid. The tapatalk works so much better than having to zoom in on the regular HTML Web Page.

    Works great from my i-Phone. Being able to load photos removes my biggest i-Phone gripe. Too bad it won't load video as well.

    The native ability to post photos is good, but otherwise Tapatalk is slower and more awkward to use than the Safari app on the iPhone.

    Just MHO.

    It doesn't seem to work with my Blackberry Curve. I can view but it won't let me post or reply. I don't even see an option for attachments or anything like that. It's okay though because it works with the normal BB browser.

    You should try eating lunch on a plate, it will most likely hold more food than the iPhone 4... :D

    Chuckles aside, isn't it funny how embedded these thing are in our lives now, to the point we're "on" them for lunch, in line at the store, etc?

    Great addition F-chat. The ability to share ideas, pictures and questions on the go is a great thing.

    I agree. In fact, I'm posting this from Safari on the iPhone right now.

    Tapatalk navigation takes some getting used to but it's not that bad once you're familiar with it.
    There is some initial hesitation when loading new pages but once loaded, the whole page is good to go. Where in Safari the page loads in sections. I haven't really used safari since downloading the app.
