>> Phones at that time were mostly just laid out to render WAP pages only Well, phones in general maybe. Smart phones and PDAs like the iPaq running Windows CE (or whatever it was called - it had so many name changes I lost track) had a half decent version of IE on them. Back around 2004-2005, you were universally mocked for putting a giant screen against your face when making a phone call. Kinda funny considering how big screen phones are so popular today. Some of those Windows devices even had decent res. I had a Toshiba e800 (pda, not phone) in 2004 and it had a VGA screen, which was quite sharp (esp considering that even the original iPhone in 2007 had only 320x480).
