You should be able to, yes. In fact you can probaby establish if it is IE by the way it loads CSS. -- Woody www.alienrat.com

The iPhone does have a more noticeable pixel grid, which I can make out in normal use sometimes. The N810 seems - from your photos - not to have such a visible grid. -z- -- email: nettid1 at fastmail dot fm

It is 800 pixels across the screen, so less then 700 when you take the scroll bars out and the side panel.

Its not far out - it is about 3cm on the iPhone and 4cm of screen on the nokia. > The iPhone does have a more > noticeable pixel grid, which I can make out in normal use sometimes. The > N810 seems - from your photos - not to have such a visible grid. It doesn't. With my eyes I can't actually see the grid on the nokia and can on the iPhone. It is actually less noticable than you would think due to better icon design on the iPhone, but it would be nice if they upped it a bit. -- Woody |
