Oh, right. =)

This is interesting because I assumed the browser was dependent on the
Symbian OS. So it's a Java browser?!

Anyway, in my thesis I am proposing that it isn't the hardware
characteristics that matter. It's the (software) User Agent
characteristics that do[1]. Has anyone seem revisions of the browser on
the same device?  

For example: Nokia3100/1.1 (06.01) Profile/MIDP-1.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.0

<rdf:Description ID="BrowserUA">
     <rdf:type resource="http://www.wapforum.org/profiles/UAPROF/ccppschema-20020710#BrowserUA"/>
<prf:BrowserName>Nokia</prf:BrowserName>
</rdf:Description>

What an uninspiring name for a browser.

Is there somewhere in a User Agent profile where a user agent's details
such as version are supposed to be noted?  Otherwise can one assume that
Nokia's XHTML browser will fixed on each model?
