Solve : Handheld devices.?

Answer»

I need to design my site to be viewable with HANDHELD devices, which is just fine and dandy. Coding the CSS is the easy part. HOWEVER, I don't have a proper way of previewing my work. The best way, of course, would be to try accessing my site with a cell phone, but my phone isn't hooked up to the internet. I could ask a FRIEND to try it, but that wouldn't be very convenient.

Is there a decent emulator out there that can kinda give me an idea of how my site will look on a phone? I was told that Opera has an emulator, but I see no such feature, unless there's an add-on I have to download. I know the Web Developer Toolbar for Firefox will display the handheld media, but it gives me no idea of how it would look on an actual device.

I've found a few emulators, but they all use the standard CSS and not the specified handheld CSS. I'll keep looking, but a point in the right direction would be appreciated.For anyone who might be interested, I managed to find Openwave Phone Simulator. It's a nifty little phone-simulation browser. Certainly not the best out there, I'm sure, but it works. And it's a nice small download (unlike the BlackBerry simulator) for those of us on dial-up. I'm still open to suggestions, but consider this resolved.What are you building, MATT?

For setting browser resolution/sizeI use this; http://setmy.browsersize.comI'm not sure how well that would work for simulating handheld media, but I can still see that coming in handy. It's now bookmarked.

I've been working on a site for a FAKE rap group. Well, I guess it's technically a real group, it's just grossly overexaggerated. The group existed for maybe a week and produced a couple of songs. The site pretends that they've produced full-length albums and have a healthy fanbase and have the ability to raise the dead. As it stands right now, it's basically a practice site for honing my "skills".
