Security Error: Untrusted server certificate

That's the message I get when I try to sign in to Gixen from my Nokia 6275i, using the stock browser. I have yet to try it Opera Mini, but think it would be really neat to be able to be Gixen'en from the parking lot without a WIFI connection in sight.

My cell provider said, "Hey, have all the Net you want on your phone, until your next contract or hardware upgrade", so I've been having lots of fun on the mobile net, and this is the first glitch I've found.

Gixen is using a Godaddy SSL certificate that works with all common browsers (I tested IE, Firefox, Opera, Safari). My guess is that Nokia 6275i browser does not support all the certificates... Opera should work fine though.

AFAIK, most mobile phones has a very limited support for CA (Certificate Authority, who issues SSL certificates).
That's usually includes a support for Verisign, Thawte and... that's it.
My Verizon phone also supports Verizon (duh!).

If a company wants support for mobile phones, they buy Verisign certificates, but these are usually much more expensive than GoDaddy so big companies usually can afford it only.

I hope this situation will change some day... Many Smartphones don't have this issue already.
