After a week of trying to live my life online through my mobile. I have to say that the functionality for most websites and social networks is poor or just limited.

Using Facebook was ok, it has the basic functionalities for working on the move, picking up messages, sending messages and writing on people's walls. Posting photo's is very hit and miss, infact I hate the whole experience of getting photos there. It should be made easier for international users to post photo's on the move, it goes without saying that Europe as a whole as a better cellular network than the United States, so why is it the Facebook interface for posting mobile photos, in the European market so poor?

On Vox the mobile posting experience alllows me to post and comment on the fly.No problems overall with this site

Microblogging is basically easy. Twitter without exception is the best, despite it's outages. Pownce, Plurk, Brightkite  and Friendfeed also rate highly but sometimes functionality gets lost on the mobile - like adding friends on the mobile version of Brightkite - granted this is still a beta.

It is my conclusion, that life on a mobile at the moment has to be limited, as full functionality and services are just not there yet, until numbers increase using the the mobile web mobile then it will continue to play second fiddle to the PC experience..
