Browser, M-Services and MeT
The P900 features an integrated browser capable of browsing WAP, Web (HTML) and cHTML content from
a common User Interface (UI).

P900 Browser

Content Types Supported
The P900 browser, called 'Internet,' supports all of the following content types within a single browser,
directly or via a gateway/proxy.
World Wide Web (WWW) - HTML
Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) - WML
Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) 2.0 – xHTML
The WWW is the most popular method of publishing information on the
internet and on company intranets. Content is organized using the
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML).
The P900 browser can read HTML pages and therefore gives access to a
vast amount of existing material. Of course, much of the content on the
WWW is aimed at large screens and will therefore require scrolling on the
P900. However, some websites, and more frequently those of interest to
the mobile user, have 'low graphics' or 'mobile friendly' options, which are
better suited to small screens.
HTML 3.2 is supported, minus some features that are applicable to large
screen devices such as PCs. The main points to note are that the P900
browser has limited support for Frames or JavaScript
WAP uses Wireless Markup Language (WML), which is like HTML but
specially optimized for mobile devices. The P900 browser is compliant with
WML 1.3 and therefore gives access to a world of existing WAP content.
The large touchscreen and multiple WAP accounts make it easy to access
and surf WAP pages
Extensible Hypertext Markup Language, xHTML, is a combination of HTML
4.0 and XML, managed by the World Wide Web Consortium. xHTML Basic
provides a common subset of features to enable the design of pages that
will work on small handheld devices, yet rich enough for content authoring.
In WAP 2.0, xHTML Basic is extended with additional markups to create
xHTML Mobile Profile. This is the core markup language for WAP 2.0.
WAP 2.0 introduces many new facilities including colour graphics,
animation, large file downloading and improved menu handling.
The P900 browser supports xHTML Mobile Profile.
