Luis let me know that RIM has added a link from mobile.blackberry.com to a new mobile friendly version of the official RIM BlackBerry support forums. I think it is great that RIM realizes supporting their own browser is important but I just cannot believe how BADLY RIM designed the new mobile forums. It is like they never plan on anybody using them by implementing a interface reminiscent of WAP websites way back when.
There is a huge header on the top of the homepage which means you have to scroll down before you can even read anything. The categories all require you to click on extra subcategories.
The topic titles are also truncated which makes them very hard to read. On top of that every single post in each tread is on a different page! Meaning you will have to hit next 10 times just for this one topic below… I know I am a bit biased now that we have our own forums but this is a bit much… I wonder if this is just a limitation of the forum software RIM is using since this is worse than not having a mobile version.
