Here is where we can talk about Scottrade's Trading website, including what you like, don't like, or would like to see added.

Mobile Trading

Hi Everyone,

 I've seen a couple of threads out there asking what is available for mobile trading, what phones are best to use and what is all available.  Hopefully this thread will provide those answers and a lot more. 

 First, a quick update on the mobile site.  We are currently in the testing phase for the new site so we are coming close to implementation.  I will update this post when we release the site to the public.  Please note; after launch it will be a beta site.  So, it will run parallel with our current mobile site, http://mobile.scottrade.com. 

The new site will be much more powerful than the old site.  You will have tons of information at your fingertips.  The SmartText feature that is part of our website will be included.

Now for the fun stuff!

I want your help in deciding what phones we need to support in the future (right now we have tested the iPhone, multiple palms, blackberry's and smart phones).  It works on all, but I have to say it looks the best on the iPhone and Palms.  We are making a few tweaks so that it will look equally good out there for the smartphones and BB's. 

So, tell us where we should focus our efforts. 

What phones are you using?

What features would you like to see in a mobile site?
