| Full browser for Smartphones? (Cingular 3125) Hi, Anyone know if there is a full browser for a Cingular 3125 smartphone? The PIE is nice-but totally can't stand the limitations. Opera Mobile isn't out for Windows Mobile 5.0 IMHO, this is the only thing holding back mobile devices. Not that anyone from MSFT may see this, but, full browser support for mobile is needed, BADLY!! Any help here? or am I stuck with limited browsing? Jeff |

| Re: Full browser for Smartphones? (Cingular 3125) The only browser that works better than PIE on Smartphones is Opera mini, but it has its limitations too. One among them is that it doesn't handle java applets. All other browsers are designed for Pocket PCs. I'm referring to Opera 8.6 and Netfront. Microsoft has announced that Windows mobile codenamed Photon will blend Smartphone and Pocket PCs features into one. Photon is expected in 2008. Be patient... Linley Meslier Pocket PC Mauritius.

You are never (well not for severeal years at least) going to get all the features of a desktop browser. What, specifically, is missing, in your opinion. I have Opera mini working on my WM 5.0 device. It is out. Windows Mobile 6, does come with a new version of PIE, which is supposed to be much improved. (I haven't used it yet.) |

| Re: Full browser for Smartphones? (Cingular 3125) Matt, Hi, Been away awhile, but specifically Java, lots of sites say I need to enable Javascript, and PIE doesn't support it-yet.
