Does web browsing support filling out forms?

I'm considering signing up for SpeakOut's unlimited web browsing but I realize that the service has some limitations (no pun intended). I believe that everything goes through the Rogers WAP proxy and some things just plain won't work. My question is, can I fill out simple forms? Here is a very plain and simple HTML form that just echoes back whatever you enter:

Can someone confirm whether this works or not? If not, what actually happens when you click the button to submit the values?

I use SpeakOut's web browsing service with an unlocked Blackberry running Opera Mini as my browser. I have no problems with text entry and regularly use Yahoo and Gmail. It's not blindingly fast, but I have the option of surfing and checking email without breaking the bank.

The quality of your browsing experience will depend a lot on the browser you use. Some phones have terrible proprietary browsers and cramped screens that make the experience hell. If you can run Safari or Opera, your world will be a much happier place.
