Can I access AdWords with a Windows Mobile 5 device?

I need to get a wireless phone that uses Windows Mobile 5 and allows me to access AdWords remotely. I tried one today at the store but when I typed in adwords.google.com to login, there was no login box on the left as there usually is on my desktop. Is there some secret URL I need to type in, some browser or OS settings I need to change, some alternative browser I need to use or does AdWords just not support access by Windows Mobile 5 devices?

Use the latest Opera browser for Windows Mobile devices.

Thanks for the feedback. I am beginning to think the lack of a login box on the main page is related to the javascript login they have and that perhaps the default windows mobile 5 browser does not support javascript fully or at all.

I turned off javascript in my desktop browser and tried to access the login page and it told me javascript is required. But if I open the login page that is loaded into the frame on the left side of the main page into a separate browser window I am able to login and access adwords fine without javascript - besides a few cosmetic differences. Maybe if I use that url on the windows mobile device it will login.

I had problems with AdSense and AdWords login using the default browser in my Windows Mobile device, mainly due to JavaScript problems. But I have absolutely no problem when I started using the Opera browser.

Yeah I don't think the default browser in windows mobile devices has full support for javascript and/or iframes which that main login page contains. I just found another post:

[webmasterworld.com...]

where someone else had the same problem with a blackberry and solved it by opening up the login page into its own browser window. If you or anyone else with a device containing windows mobile 5 wants to try it, the URL is below.

[google.com...]

I am gonna try it next time I visit the store and if it still don't work will try Opera.

Try NetFront Browser. This works on Windows Mobile 5, supports javascript and enables you to log into your Adwords' account.
