I had a friend look at a site of mine on his new phone. It looked terrible. Is there a free Phone Web Browser Emulator that I can run on my computer, so I can see what my site looks like? I can't ask this guy to look at it every time I make an adjustment (and I'm not going to do it on my phone - yes, you can call me cheap). I found a simulator that cost over a hundred dollars, not going to do that. I found another that was free, but it didn't seem to work. Help.
Small Screen Rendering: Cell Phone/PDA Web Access: Hand-held mobile devices such as the Blackberry (8800, Curve, Pearl), and the Palm Treo 650, employ Web Page Small Screen Rendering which can be emulated in Firefox via the top drop-down menu: Tools> Web Developer> Miscellaneous> Small Screen Rendering (or via Miscellaneous> Small Screen Rendering from the drop-down menu in Chris Pederick's Web Developer add-on). The same facility is available in Opera, another excellent developer tool, via View> Small screen (toggle) from the top drop-down menu There are large numbers of cell-phone sales vendors in shopping malls. I have found that sales reps are only too happy to demonstrate how their products render web pages -- of course you specify yours. You can see how your web pages actually render in just about every hand-held device during one visit to a mall. "More and more visitors these days are using the latest Browsers to disable style sheets (and sometimes images) & change text size via the keyboard for quicker and easier browsing of web page/blog content."

Thanks Jamesicus, that's what I saw (as best I remember) on the phone. I love web developer, just didn't realize that was in there. I have Opera, but just use it to verify the page layout. I guess I'll have to become more familiar with it. Thanks also 007c.
