Hopefully, CellStories will be able to find a steady stream of good short fiction as it is the quality of writing that will keep users coming back.<\/p>\n<p>The site is optimized for the iPhone and other Webkit based mobile browsers but it also works perfectly in Opera Mini aside from a cosmetic issue of text overlapped and images in the page title. Of course, there is really no reason why a site like this which is mainly text shouldn&#8217;t work on every phone.<\/p>\n<p><em>Filed in:<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/?id=350\">Wap Review Directory &#8211; Entertainment\/Books<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Ratings:<\/em> <span class=\"small\">Content <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/images\/sm-blue-star.gif\" alt=\"*\" width=\"15\" height=\"13\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/images\/sm-blue-star.gif\" alt=\"*\" width=\"15\" height=\"13\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/images\/sm-blue-star.gif\" alt=\"*\" width=\"15\" height=\"13\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/images\/sm-blue-star.gif\" alt=\"*\" width=\"15\" height=\"13\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/images\/blue-starOL.gif\" alt=\"_\" width=\"15\" height=\"13\" \/> Usability <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/images\/sm-red-star.gif\" alt=\"X\" width=\"15\" height=\"13\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/images\/sm-red-star.gif\" alt=\"X\" width=\"15\" height=\"13\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/images\/sm-red-star.gif\" alt=\"X\" width=\"15\" height=\"13\" \/><\/span><span><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"..\/..\/images\/red-starOL.gif\" alt=\"_\" width=\"15\" height=\"13\" \/><\/span><span class=\"small\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/images\/red-starOL.gif\" alt=\"_\" width=\"15\" height=\"13\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Ready.mobi Score: <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/ready.mobi\/results.jsp?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fcellstories.net&amp;locale=en_EN\">2 &#8220;Bad&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Mobile Link:<\/em> <a title=\"mobile site\" href=\"http:\/\/cellstories.net\"> cellstories.net<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CellStories is a new mobile service offering a different short story every day.
