There's always some risk no matter what you do. Call it the 'shit happens' principle.
It works pretty well actually (though I am posting this with it's main s60 rival Netfront). I used it recently when netfront 3.2 wouldn't start (due to a bug that requires you to manually delete the cache with a 3rd party app). Both basically work equally well, reformatting pages for the small screen by scaling images and displaying table cells as block level elements (eliminating sideways scrolling when tables are used for layout). Opera is a bit smarter with css, using the handheld media stylesheet exclusively if supplied. Netfront will apply both handheld and screen rules if supplied which is annoying. On the upside you netfront's settings allow you to write and apply a user.css file.
Ok heres a google cache of the css-discuss mailing list wiki. (Both the mailing list and wiki are great resources)
Quoted from the wiki, my example above should work for:
* Camino 0.7
* Mac IE 5.1 & 5.2
* IE 5 Windows (and presumably higher)
* MoZilla 1.3
* OperaSix
But there are other versions that have slightly less compatablility (and can therefore be used to feed IE it's own "special" values).
Is it actually part of the standard
Yes, it's mentioned (at least briefly according to my quick glance at the specs) in both HTML 4.01 and CSS 2.1
HTML 4.01
The class attribute, on the other hand, assigns one or more class names to an element; the element may be said to belong to these classes.
CSS 2.1
To match a subset of "class" values, each value must be preceded by a ".", in any order.
Example(s):
For example, the following rule matches any P element whose "class" attribute has been assigned a list of space-separated values that includes "pastoral" and "marine":
<p class="style1">I Have style 1</p> <p class="style1 style2>I have style1 and style2 combined</p> <p class="style1 style3">I have style1 and style3</p> <p class="style1 style2 style3">I have the lot!</p>
Here in the UK, yes! To start with it's all GSM over here. None of your US CDMA weirdness:-) Secondly 3G coverage is less than spectacular once you get out of the major cities. A number of my friends have the 3 phones, but here in mid Wales all they get to use is O2 GPRS anyway.
And for what it's worth, (now that I've actually managed to get the.sis file after the slashdotting), the Virgin streaming radio works fine over GPRS.
It depends. In my case I wanted the multi function phone. I can use it with my laptop to connect to the internet just about anywhere. WiFi hot spots arn't exactly plentyful in the UK, even less so in the middle of Wales. I also make pretty heavy use of the calandering (and alarm), and since I got this 6670 I've used the (suprisingly good) Netfront web browser to read slashdot and other web sites while I have my lunch at the local cafe. I don't actually use many of my 'free' talk time.
On the other hand, a friend of mine did manage to rack up an £80 mobile phone bill recently after using all her talk time. If she'd been on a slightly more 'expensive' plan she would have shaved quite a sum off that bill. If she'd used a pay-as-you go service plan, I dread to think what the cost would ave been.
In the UK you can get Symbian based phones for free on contract relatively cheaply. For example my Noia 6670 was free on my contract (~£25 per month, 250 Min cross network talk time free). I imagine 7650s (my last Symbian phone, £50 on a similar plan 2 years ago) are basically freebies on the cheapest plans now.
As for unlimited data plans, O2 dont seem to charge for the use of the GPRS connection either. At least I've never been charged for it during 2 years woth of use.
Nescape 7.1 (or maybe it was 7.2) came with the Mozilla ActiveX plugin preinstalled, although it was whitelisted to allow only the Windows Media Player ActiveX control.
The Netscape 8 betas however can use either the Gecko or Trident (WinIE) engines for rendering web pages. If the user decides to use trident for viewing a web page that tab is marked as "low security" (little red or yellow sphere in the top right corner of the tab) IIRC.
Bookmark whatever pages you want to open in tabs inside a folder (if you have all your pages open in tabs already, select bookmark this page, then tick "Bookmark tabs in a folder"). Then in your bookmarks menu go to the folder with your pages in, and at the bottom of the list of pages select "Open in tabs".
Thats not really a problem. We can just wait for "Tarrent on TV" to cherry pick the best ads for us and then ignore all the other ads in between shows.
In this case it wouldn't work for wap.google.com. I've tried it before with Opera (which also supports WAP). I think if the UA says it supports HTML it gets the HTML version, regardless of if it also says it accepts WML.

And on other phones (like my 6670) the Netfront web browser.

You can to a degree.
You mean VML? New to Internet Explorer 5!

HTML 4.01
CSS 2.1
Actually IE works pretty well. NN4 won't like it, but then NN4 doesn't like much CSS anyway.
Actually the specs do specify that anchors must be closed:
HTML 3.2 which Slashdot claims to be.
And nothing has changed in the HTML 4.01 spec.
I'm not entirely sure this is what you are after, but did you realise you can combine classes?
.style1 {color: red;} .style2 {background-color: blue;} .style3 {border: 2px solid black;}
i.e.
<p class="style1">I Have style 1</p>
<p class="style1 style2>I have style1 and style2 combined</p>
<p class="style1 style3">I have style1 and style3</p>
<p class="style1 style2 style3">I have the lot!</p>
Well then, thanks for the info :)

A program that can be installed on your phone.

A while ago.
Nescape 7.1 (or maybe it was 7.2) came with the Mozilla ActiveX plugin preinstalled, although it was whitelisted to allow only the Windows Media Player ActiveX control.

Dont touch ANYTHING!
Apparently (well, so I've just found out), you can open the tabs by middle clicking on the bookmark folder too.
Bookmark whatever pages you want to open in tabs inside a folder (if you have all your pages open in tabs already, select bookmark this page, then tick "Bookmark tabs in a folder"). Then in your bookmarks menu go to the folder with your pages in, and at the bottom of the list of pages select "Open in tabs".
Well, isn't that what the 30 second skip function on Tivos is for? :)
