I have read quite a few docs on mobile web and in particular mobile phone screen sizes. It seems that the most popular size for current phones is 240px by 320px. I have found a couple of simulators but these all focus on the 176px by 220px.

Does anyone know if there are any simulators around that are designed with the 240px by 320px. I do have the Opera Mini simulator but am at present unable to use as our company firewall appears to be blocking access.

Thanks,

There's a graphical view on the screen sizes of different devices over here. (The list of matching devices is here, but I don't obviously see any simulators in there)

Do iPhone testers count?

Hello Meanmachine,

you can use the Microsoft Device Emulator.

Notes to self: don't write on forums after too little sleep, and don't run a local web server except when actually developing.

Sorry ;-)

Hello again,

the Nokia S60 SDKs are also recommended.

The screen sizes of mobile devices become bigger, e. g.

HTC Diamond 480 x 640
T-Mobile G1 320 x 480 (HVGA)
BlackBerry Bold 480 x 320
