Web browser for S60   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #21828 of 31606 |
Hi there -

(this is probably related to this thread
<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wmlprogramming/message/21765> of
discussion)

Some Nokia devices, running S60 3rd edition i believe, have the new Open
Source Browser, it can render pretty much any "normal" web page and it
is really nice.

The problem is that I just found out that they identified themselves
with the following user-agent:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR
1.1.4322)

which basically means they want to be considered as a "Generic Web
Browser". Mobile getting more and more power and ressources makes it
possible for those mobiles to render the same way a web browser does but
there are still (and will remains for a while) differences like screen
size, pricing and so on that makes a mobile version even for those
devices something nice.

Is there a way to differentiate a mobile device running this browser to
a web browser, so the user can still get the mobile version ?
Has anyone some thoughts ? how do you handle that situation ?

Cheers
Jérôme
