Nokia N95 - The browser

We just took delivery of a Nokia N95 as a target phone for one of our projects here at the TSSG. I can’t go much into what we are doing but we wanted a desktop-web and mobile-web experience complete with all the Web 2.0 goodness you have come to expect. I was not terribly confident the mobile-web 2.0 bit would work. So when I loaded our desktop-web site in the N95’s browser I was thrilled to see it worked. Not just full CSS and HTML but JavaScript and Ajax (I assume it implements its own XmlHttpRequest object.)

Apart from the small screen format you don’t have to develop any differently for the mobile browser (obviously file-size etc. is still important) on the Nokia N95. With the iPhone running a version of Safari, this Nokia N95 and the Opera Mini 4.0 browser I think we are rapidly moving towards a mobile web that is technically very capable.

I'm heading the global marketing for the Web Browser for S60 that you greatly talk about on N95. Thanks for the encouragement.

BTW, you may be interested to note that we also recently launched widgets that also uses the same WebKit core as the browser. you may want to visit www.s60.com/widgets to find out more.

Hmm... does the N95 not run Safari (or an implemntaton of it) like the N73 I have? Unfortunately, Nokia seem to have a crappy WAP browser on the N73 too for no apparent reason.

It isn't Safari but it uses the Webkit engine so renders pretty similar to Safari. The N73 can be upgraded to Symbian 60 Series 3 as far as I know which has the same browser as the N95.
