Problems with Internet Explorer Mobile

There is life outside the iPhone universe. With this I mean that there are a lot of smartphones with internet connectivity, but that the Brightkite frontend has some quirks that limit the usability on these phones.

I have a HTC S620 phone with WLAN and GPRS connectivity. Of course I don't want to communicate with Brightkite through SMS. I want to check in and post pictures from my phone. Technically my phone has everything that is needed for this. However, the Brightkite site has several flaws that keep me from doing this for the moment.

Using Internet Explorer Mobile, I see a perfect login screen, but after logging in the screen goes blank. This is probably due to some limitation in Mobile Internet Explorer. I could install Opera Mini, but if I have to take that step just in order to use Brightkite, I'm not sure I will do the effort.

In a second attempt, I used i.brightkite.com, the site intended for iPhone users. Now I can login, go to the "check in and search" screen. But the form there cannot be "submitted" because the submit button is not an ordinary form submit button, but some javascript-bound entity. So, no luck either with Mobile Internet Explorer in combination with Brightkite's iPhone site.

It's a pity that an application for which mobile use is essential, is not adapted to Windows Mobile and its default tools like Internet Explorer Mobile.
