Mobile Phone Browser - http://server/zimbra/m/ crashing

[liverpoolfcfan]

I began testing the Mobile Phone Browser access to ZCS today, and have had serious problems.
I cannot get the page to load on either Windows Mobile 6 or Nokia Web Browsers.
The Inbox page renders, then immediately starts to reload, this continues over and over.
Here is a single instance of the error cut from the mailbox.log file
Anybody got any bright ideas to fix or get around this ?
I also tried to download the J2ME version of the mobile client to test that way of accessing - but the download page does not seem to be working.

We are having the same issue... Windows mobile 6.1 on an HTC tilt. the previous version of Zimbra mobile worked well.
we recently upgraded and the mobile version is very flakey.
the default view doesn't allow the user to see any navigation other than inbox/folders.
The GPRS/Edge view does allow the user to see tabs for calendar, contacts, folders, and search.
In either view, when one clicks on a message, it reloads and reloads and reloads. If one clicks on "preferences/version" it reloads and reloads also..

I have a user with a Nokia that has the same problem (and I see the same error in the logs). He said it never happened when we were still on 5.x

Looks like a fix for this is coming in 6.0.4
Bug 42322 – Mobile client throws error when opening messages within Nokia Browser.
The bug details changes to 2 files. I was only able to download one of the two - zmain - with perforce. It alone stops the client from constantly looping.
The Javascript file seem to also be needed but it has not been uploaded as yet.
Hopefully when released it will fix these issues completely.

Rock on... Until there we are using activesync and it seems to be working much better for the client.
