.mobi Are phone-related domains good for .mobi? (AddMinutes.mobi)

[randomo]

Hey all,

I just reg'd AddMinutes.mobi. Since many cell phone service advertisements use the phrase "add minutes," it seemed like an obvious reg.

Do you agree that mobile-phone-related terms like this make a lot of sense for .mobi, or am I confused? (The latter is always a possibility!)

Cheers,
Dave

I believe mobi will be used as the default term for mobile in the not too distant future;

I think that is a good grab. Nice name for so late in the game.

I think mobile related names will do very good because people at the moment are only use to using there phones everything else but the internet... I have been on my mobile with internet for about 2 years with unimited bandwidth and I must say it is hard waiting for these ".com" pages to load from that alone I know .mobi will be a success.

When people get use to using there phones to surf the net and ordering things, like "flowers" etc... thats when we'll see the real boom.

i keep thinking, what site might i need from my pda.
i have had a similar site before for large screens.
so my first proper development http://cheapcall.mobi

i think the target is very differnt, will mobile user be looking for porn?
doubt it.

not only that, mobi sites can be different, where on a normal site you have clickable email (mail to), we have clickable phone numbers. i havenet seen much development with that.
