Is there such a thing as a cell phone browser emulator?

Gamer.Saga · March 26th, 2008, 8:58 PM

Well, out of my few years of web experience, I've just recently started giving a crap about cell phone browsers being able to access my sites. The big problem is, I do not have a cell phone nor anything that uses mobile browsers.

Does anyone know if there is, like, a mobile browser emulator for windows? I really need something that emulates standard cell phone browsers on my computer. I'm not familiar at all with cell phone browsers, so yes, I'm a newbie in this area. x_x

Opera Mini has an emulator here: http://www.operamini.com/demo/

You can download the iPhone SDK for Mac if you want to test Mobile Safari.

Not sure about other phones, though I believe Blackberry has some emulation stuff too.

I found this after I figured out exactly what to search for.

Openwave Developer Network - Tools & SDK - Openwave Phone Simulator

lol, I googled it earlier and came up with nothing too promising.

I work in cell phone industry ;-)

And yes, I would recommend the Openwave SDK. I think I had messed around with it a few years ago...

You can also search for WAP/WML tutorials.

Thanks very much, I think I've ultimately found all I needed to find ^_^. I think it was kinda imperative to make the site that I'm working on, have some mobile features.

If you use an SMF forum, you can use these links to see what it would look like on phones for links to use on phones:
