Hi Mike,
What mobile device are you using this with out of interest?
I much prefer http://www.operamini.com/demo/ which has great support
for CSS. The Opera proxy does an excellent job of converting pages into
a format suitable for mobile browsing. Try comparing http://www.bbc.co.uk/
on the demo at the link above with the phonifier output (Hint, change the
settings from the menu to mobile view).
For any of the large number of 'phones running Symbian S60 (see here for
list: http://www.s60.com/life/s60phones/browseDevices.do ), Opera Mobile
( http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/ ) is a step up from Opera Mini and
the way to go in my book. It also works on Microsoft Windows mobiles by
the way.
Regards,
James
