I have been a fan of Opera for mobiles (the Symbian UIQ variety for
Sony Ericsson P800/P900) for well over a year now. SSR and the ability
to interpret "street HTML" and javascript eliminates the need to
design mobile websites with only WAP or XHTML in mind - just keep the
design sparse.
It's way better than Pocket IE but one obstacle to making Opera and
SSR a standard is Opera's anatagonism toward Microsoft - I recall
their CEO made a pronouncement that they will never support Windows
Mobile (so don;t expect it on PDAs and Windows smartphones). To be
fair, MS fired the first salvo by blocking Opera browsers from
accessing parts of Microsoft.com. But maybe its high time for a truce,
eh?
By the way, am designing some mobile wallpapers for a website right
now, can someone out there kindly refresh me on the dimensions for
Series 60 wallpaper? Thanks in advance.
