When I look at my site through a Blackberry emulator everything is tiny, probably because their screen resolution is so dense.

How do I compensate for this? Thanks.

I'm willing to bet you've specified a font size somewhere that looks good on your phone-of-choice. If you don't specify a size, but just let the text float to the "normal" size font, it will probably be more readable on hi-res screens.

Thanks for your reply.

I will try your suggestion but it's not just the text size. it's the images and the rest of the page. Every page I create displays like your far away and can see vacant space to the right almost like looking at a mobile site using a desktop browser. It doesn't fill the screen like Opera mini, Iphone and Palm. The Blackberry seems to ignore the Viewport Meta Tag.

I was reading posts in the Blackberry discussion forum and I am starting to think it has something to do with Blackberry's ability to zoom.

This brings up a good (semi-related) question too though:
Which is better to use when defining padding, margins and font sizes - percentages or EMs?

Both are relative, but both are relative in different ways.
