WAP

Wireless Application Protocol.

A protocol developed to allow efficient transmission of optimized Internet content to wireless phones. See Wireless Internet.

Wireless Internet

Also known as "WAP", "Wireless Web", or "Mobile Web". This feature means that the phone contains mini-browser software that will let you navigate various services through the Internet, shown on the phone's display.

Most phones with Wireless Internet can only display pages specifically designed for phones - they cannot display most full web sites. Some newer phones can also display full web sites, although how well the page fits on the display varies depnding on the mini-browser software.

Some traditional web sites do offer versions specifically designed for phones, however frequently only a fraction of the content or services are offered in the wireless version, such as features that are time- or location-sensitive.

Several different standards exists: HDML, WML, cHTML, and xHTML. Older phones support HDML and WML. Most new phones support WML and xHTML. Some phones also work with cHTML, the standard behind NTT DoCoMo's i-Mode service, which is found in Japan and parts of Europe.

xHTML, which is related to WAP 2.0, is the standard that the industry is converging on.

In order to use it on 3, you need to get the WAP settings from 3.

The Nokia site does not have them so you'll have to contact 3.

I searched through 3's site but couldn't find anything. You'll have to visit your local 3 shop to get help.

Best of Luck

Yup would be worth considering. Try O2 since they have some good WAP options.

Post in the European Carriers Forum, you'll find the O2 Forum in there.
