The Joy of Yahoo Mobile

I have to say, in my limited time of surfing the mobile web, Yahoo!'s mobile site is the best that I have seen (this includes flickr).

It seems like they are putting a lot of effort into making a good user experience online. I just thought that I would share some screenshots of what it looks like on my mobile device (Cingular 8126).

Yahoo Mobile Home Page

Good use of icons to show navigation items. Also, the navigation list is simple, uncluttered and easy to navigate with a keyboard.

Yahoo Mobile News Page

Another style of listings, but also easy to navigate. Short titles allow for very little text link wrapping which makes the list easier to navigate.

Yahoo Mobile Headline News Page

Longer titles, but because they are numbered, they are visually distinct enough to make it easy to navigate. Also, only the essential information is shown allowing for quick download and less clutter.
