(keitai-l) Re: e-plus: Wap2.0 compatible to i-mode!

Hi!  I have a Nokia 3650 as well.  Yes, it is WAP 2.0 and we can see in
xHTML.  As I am using in Singapore, can someone let me have the URL for
imode sites so taht I can surf and feel the imode compatible sites
experience?

Thanks.

for the e-plus i-mode service and the Nokia 3650. I was very surprised to
see the Nokia 3650 on the i-mode website of e-plus:

is compatible to i-mode!" - I can't belive it!! OK, the XHTML of Wap2.0 may
have much in commen with cHTML/iHTML but itīs not the same...
> And the Nokia 3650 don't support all i-mode features like emoticons or
(i-mode compatible) ringtones or imail(!) - it only supports normal email
but there is no push-function! And the Java impementation isn't i-apply but
MIDP 1.0 and there is no i-menu key on the phone...

> I think it's a major mistake by e-plus to market the Nokia 3650 as an
i-mode phone! It donīt realy works with i-mode, it's a Wap phone! A Nokia
3650 with i-mode has NO advantage to a 3650 with VodafoneLive or t-zones!
