What is the best way to access Google+ on the n900 using MicroB?

I can get to the full site no problem, but it is just a little tricky to use.

Can somebody with an android or iOS device load up the HTML5 mobile Web App and figure out the direct url?

I'm guessing MicroB can probably handle the page, but it doesn't get directed there automatically because of the user agent.

Thanks

Both Android & iOS can access Google+ without incident. They're even useful to the multi-touch controls/swipe controls on the page(s) too.

But you'll invariably get moved to their mobile site - I know my iPad and Xoom both went mobile. On Android, there's a Google+ app - but the website is actually faster.

Yes, i know that it works on android / iOS :P

What i am trying to figure out is, how can i get it working on my n900.

When you first load plus.google.com on an android device, you will get directed to a different page based on the user agent of your android browser. It is possible to use that version of the site on microB if you know the direct url.

https://m.google.com/app/plus/

That's with the stock Browser app in Android. If you switch your UA string to the same as my Android browser, I'm quite sure it'll work. I just don't have an N900 laying around any longer to test.

Thanks! That redirects me to:

https://m.google.com/app/plus/x/

Which is just the xhtml site, so it's fairly bare bones. But better than using the full site.

I've also found:

https://m.google.com/app/plus/mp/

Which kinda sorta works, but the formatting is all wrong. I'm pretty sure this is the HTML5 version.

/mp/478 is the one I'm forwarded to using Android 3.1.

I think microB has the wrong user agent string to get passed to the full mobile version. It works fine in Macuco though.

The correct answer was:

m.google.com/app/plus/mp/631/?force=1

Using that URL you get a proper HTML5 version of the site that works well on microB. Awesome.

Put this in your user agent and you should see the full website...

It's not correctly formated for me and I cannot chose who I wanna share a post with, so I'm unable to post at all.
