Have you purchased goods from an ecommerce website using your mobile phone?

If yes, how was the experience? Would you shop on your mobile phone again? What would encourage you to shop more using your mobile phone?

If no, why not? What would encourage you to start using your mobile phone for shopping? Share Your Thoughts

Absolutely

Let me turn this question around: Why would you not shop on your mobile phone?

All the time

I get better prices, greater convenience, and wider choise. Why would I not buy using my mobile phone?

Too Tough

I do not know about you, but I find shopping on the mobile phone too tedious. The small mobile screen is not meant for shopping. I can imagine shopping on a tab computer, but not on a cellular phone.

Apps Only

Like JudyH said, apps only. I buy (a very few) apps with my iPhone. Same with my iPad. Any other online shopping is done from my computer.

Not So Much

The only things I have purchased on my phone are apps, items from iTunes and some games from Big Fish games. I don't actually shop for non-iPad/iPhone products and services on my phone. It's too small and uncomfortable to read the phone for me.
