Nokia Europe - Mobile Browsing

Get online with WAP, XHTML, or HTML

A mobile browser is simply any program that lets you access and read content on a network from a mobile device - usually the Internet or some other mobile network service. As more phones on the market boast high network connection speeds and color screens, mobile browsing is becoming more common (and a lot better-looking!)

What you can do with Mobile Browsers

Many new Nokia models come with an integrated XHTML or even HTML mobile browser, giving you the chance to surf without being chained to a desktop computer. Today's mobile browsers give you richer colors and faster browsing than the original mobile browsers, and most importantly, a way to access the Web at your fingertips. Considering the no-frills WAP sites that started off mobile browsing, the technology has come a long way.

How it works

In order to browse with a mobile phone, you need to have a phone with a browser (either one that's built in or downloaded), a subscription from your network operator to a data service (GSM data, GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA, etc), and the correct settings on your phone. Then it's up to other companies and individuals to build the sites and services you can browse.
