The following information was assembled from various sources including the Web, developers’ manuals, helpline operators and technical specs. Not all the information was available for all phones, so some of the numbers given are estimates. All details are correct as of Spring 2001 in the UK, but please note that this field evolves very rapidly.
Nokia make more Wap phones than anybody else and there’s more information available about them, so Nokia will be dealt with separately here. Please note that the Communicator range (9110I & 9210) are part phone, part PDA and should not be considered typical.
