Hi guys.

trying to surf mobile.msn.com on my 3650.
Instead of the WAP/WML version of the site I keep getting the HTML version??
Can I set the phone to use just WML as I can not read my hotmails anymore 😞

Best

Interesting! MSN seems to have their own way of detecting if it's a WML or an HTML-browser visiting the pages. I've tried it with a couple of PC WAP-browsers and they also get the HTML-version... Maybe MSN uses the 'user agent' header(that tells which browser it is) supplied to their web server, instead of the 'accept' header(that tells if the browser supports WML), to decide. If so, then it is MSN which has to change their way of deciding.
