mobile chess app on windows mobile

I downloaded the java app from the website, and it says it installed correctly and it lets me put in my username and password, but when i click log in, the app just freezes up and says "connecting.."

the only way to get out of it is to kill java in the task manager...

this is on an HTC HD2 with the latest windows mobile 6.5...

Usually the Java mobile prompts for connection, but it seems you dont get that prompt which means the app cannot connect. But anyway the Java mobile app doesn't support pure touch screen phones so even if you were able to connect you would be stuck.

is there a reason why it doesnt support touch screens? i can play thru facebook on my phone which uses java no problem.  and is there any plans on addressing this?

thanks for the info!

Hi guys,

I feel like I'm turning into a spruiker

There is a windows mobile app in the works - and it's about ready for beta-testing on certain phones.

Please join, let me know what phone model you have, and I'll send you the app if it's supported (or we'll update the app to support if not).

Here's a few screenshots:
