While it says connecting, does the 3 dots roll?
chess on your cell phone

This is the same prob I have on my BB Curve on T-mobile in the UK. Eric's recommendation was to uninstall then reinstall a few times to see if it works, but this hasn't worked for me so far.
Please post if you have manage to find out how to get this working, woudl love to try mobile chess.com!

When the mobile app seems to lock up it is waiting for you to allow the connection to chess.com. If you cannot see these prompts on the screen try pressing the left menu key ( or whatever key that usually corresponds to 'yes' ) a couple of times. After that try to restart the app.

The new version 1.1 of the mobile app might solve these issues. There has been some improvements on the login screen.
