One of the amazing thins about the N900 is the possibility to navigate almost any website on the web flawlessly. But still many websites aren't optimised for mobile use, and many mobile sites aren't optimised for touch screens.

There are quite a lot of touch screen optimized websites out there, but most of them only appear if accessed through an Iphone. In Maemo and the N900 they can be accessed by changing your user agent to Iphone, but this is complicated, and can make both these and other sites render badly in MicroB

So in this thread I've tried to find direct links to as many touch screen optimized sites as possible. This way you can bookmark your favorite mobile sites instead of changing your User Agent.

I haven't tested all of them on the N900 yet, but I've taken out the sites that only support webkit or reject other User Agents than Iphone Safari, so all these sites should work with the default browser. If you know about others or test some of these sites please contribute in this thread.

Some of these sites will work in all orientations, but most work best in Portrait mode. To enable / disable portrait mode press: ctrl-shift-o while in the browser.
