The high-end phones and PDAs --- such as the Sony Erricson P800, Nokia 3650/7650 and Sharp Zarus --- can render HTML/XML/XHTML as happily as a desktop machine. (They use Opera [1]; Hit <Shift>-<F11> in Opera 7 to put it into "Small-Screen Mode" and get a feel for what it is like.) Unfortunately this does not help you with your current phone, Nick :( Where is that spare $800 [2]\ldots [1] http://www.opera.com/products/smartphone/ [2] http://www.vodaphone.co.nz/mobiles/gen/mobile_details_nokia_3650.jsp?hd=foryou&st=mobiles&ss=look2buy -- Michael JasonSmith http://www.ldots.org/
