Hi,
I had problems with different charsets with certain
mobiles.
http://www.appelsiini.net/keitai-l/archives/2006-01/0038.html
Maybe there are mobiles that support UTF-8, but it all
depends on the mobile model itself. Concerning my
particular case in the link above, I tried contacting
Sony-Ericsson asking for the mobile's specs, but they
refused citing non-disclosure agreements with AU.
