This is yet another app that will run on rinky dinky free phones, but will not run on my 500.00 Treo 700wx. NFL mobile, Citi Mobile, Sprint Mobile Email etc.... Does anyone know how to get these up and running on this phone, Citi Mobile most of all. Please help.

I'm probably missing something but if this works on the ATT 8525 shouldn't it possibly work on a Treo? Isn't the 8525 the HTC TyTn or whatever, another Windows Mobile device. Has anyone tried it?

Edit: I see that they want you to declare your Carrier and Model. I wonder what happens if you lie and say you have a 8525, I'll try it and see.

I have never used their "mobile" site. I've always used PIE to do online banking straight from my Treo with Citibank. Just go to this site:

https://web.da-us.citibank.com

If you are sent to a page where it will tell you your browser/OS will not work - just scroll down and hit the "Continue" button. At some point when the next page finishes loading it may prompt you to accept the certificate, click "Yes". Then scroll almost all the way down and you'll see a user name and password box. Just type in your Citi Online banking user name and password and it will then nicely display a slew of info including your last visit, and all your account summaries. And from there you can click on all of your accounts for more info, and do payments/transfers, etc...

While it's probably not a swift as their "mobile" site it still works fine for me...

I, also, use https://web.da-us.citibank.com when I go to Citibank via my Treo. I just tried to use the mobile version
https://web.da-us.citibank.com/cgi-b..._Id=CitiMobile
but in order for me to use the ATT 8525, I had to select Cingular as my provider. Unfortunately, my provider is Sprint and after going through the prompts, I never received the text message instructions on my phone.

The Citi Mobile app is a java app (.jad) and i tried to install it on the PPC6800 since it has a java client built in.
The java alient would download but wouldn't install the Citi Mobile app because of something to do with certificates and such.

Just for curiosity, i followed the link they sent me on my friends Blackberry Pearl and it downladed the .jad file and installed it in seconds and he was using it.

Unless there is a java client for the Win Mobile Treo's, we're out of luck using this nifty app.

can someone post the .jad here?

Maybe I can take a look.

Well, it's weird because when you click on the link that Citi sends you to download from, you are prompted to download a file "provisioning.jad" which is only about 4kb.

Now, i have the IBM Websphere java engine on my 700Wx and after downloading the "provisioning.jad" file, it opens and then further starts downloading (what i think is) the real Citi mobile midlet, which is about 90kb and installing it.

After being prompted if you want to install the midlet, i get a message that the midlet does not have a manifest.

On a PPC6800 that i tried it with as well, it gave a similar error message regarding unsigned certificates.

Anyway, see what you can make of it.

Why do you want to run banking apps on your WM phone? This should be the last thing you want to do from your phone. I wonder how much security is there between the portal and your treo...
