PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless Times change. If Internet was the main tech revolution of 1990's, mobile communications is the revolution of our time. The next step will be to fully merge these two concepts and allow users to browse the web via their phone at very cheap rates. Today, we look at the various offerings found on most phones. Our hope is that we will familiarize you with some of these solutions and so the next time you buy a phone, you actually also check what browser it's using. That will be a good step towards making carriers and phone manufacturers aware that the mobile web users exist!

I currently work for an MVNO and have been testing out a lot of mobile browsers lately. I'm using a SE K600i and the SE browser is just not up to stuff available on the web. Opera Mini is a god send though, since it just works (but not as great as Opera Mobile - hopefully they support SE soon). I also have an Alcatel OT757 using Openwave and its great but I find it a bit slower compared to the other browsers I have used. Since a lot of these phones are java oriented, I guess the logical route is to have a java-based browser like opera-mini, make it standards compliant, have SSR technology, and with GPRS/EDGE/3G getting more popular more than ever, we'll truly have a mobile web.
