I agree, but often manufacturers don't read or ignore these mailing lists and desires and requests from developers. We (developers) do what we can. > > <main version> is generally 1.0.

Uhmmm, no, the 3100 sold in USA should be GSM too, but on a different frequency AND supports XHTML while the EU version does not (if my memory is not playing tricks on me). > > From my experience, Nokia prepares 1 UAProf for each main version, as it was said on > > the list, the name is generally like Nokia3100R100 or Nokia3100R200. > > Each main version of the User Agent software?

Developer Platform > 1.0. Can anyone clarify? Nokia develops many different devices based on the same hardware and software. These are called "Developer platform". There are currently 4 developer platforms I think, 1.0 and 2.0 for series 40 and 60. Each developer platform has a set of capabilities (screen size, colors, MMS support, J2ME support and version and so on).

This is not a required feature for the WAP browser from the OMA, so if the manufacturer or browser developer wants to implement it's an extra feature. - Andrea ==================== Andrea Trasatti Bware Technologies http://www.bware.it spamtrap@bware.it send an email here and get blacklisted!
