Thanks, Srikanth.
I would love to hear from someone who uses a high end phone, and I can promise
it would be a very interesting conversation that would help provide a better

Have you used MTS free Wikipedia? I overheard they are falsely
I agree with Srikanth on this issue.
I have been using Wikipedia on my phone for over a year and a half, and have
even edited several articles from my phone.

Data charges definitely is coming down and will be coming down more with the
3G war in India.
The support for other languages and unicode should be improved in the
mobiles.
I have tried ml wikipedia in the Nokia E series with MiniOpera browser. It

I have to confess, I have not. Only going by the ads. The other thing
is lack of Unicode support. Andriod doesn't support Unicode, IIRC.
Thank you.

Hoi,
I doubt very much that Android does not support Unicode. It may not have the
fonts that you need.
Thanks,

Android 1.5 supports embedded CSS fonts, and you can use any unicode
font you want to.

Hi Arjuna,
Thanks for your feedback. It is a good point that data cost continue to be
prohibitive. But our preliminary research has shown that users in India are
using mobile phones (not just smart phones) which have a data plan (pre-paid or
post paid) to access the Wikipedia.
I am interested
Arjuna makes a good point on language support. As for the data costs,
don't some providers (I know MTS does) provide access to Wikipedia for
free?
Thank you.
