Sprint Enhances Mobile Web Browsing

Posted on: Wednesday, 19 March 2008, 12:00 CDT

Sprint Nextel, a provider of wireless and wireline communications services, has launched an enhanced mobile web browsing experience on virtually all web-capable Sprint phones.

As a US carrier to launch the OpenWeb solution from Openwave Systems, Sprint customers will be able to get faster, more user-friendly renderings of Internet sites, even those not optimized for the mobile device. This enhancement will be automatic for customers who currently access the internet on their phones and will require no additional action on their part.

Each month, millions of Sprint customers visit websites using their mobile phones. With Openwave OpenWeb, these pages will automatically appear on data-enabled Sprint phones in an easy-to-read format that's closer to a desktop experience of the internet, regardless of the memory or processing power of the device. The enhancement is designed to adapt the standard layout of a website and reconstruct it to properly fit the screen of the user's particular phone, providing automatic in-page navigation so users can reach the most important data from the website faster.
