@KorAug 05.2010 — There are several reasons:

- Mobile SmartPhones displays have different resolutions (lower) than the classical displays

- Mobile SmartPhones use their own Operating Systems, which includes their own versions of browsers, which are more or less compatible with classical browsers.

@NailkitaAug 05.2010 — There's also a lot of touch screen for mobiles, so you need to:

a. design for easy view on a small screen

b. easy access to buttons/links, fingers aren't as exact as a mouse.

@elum_chaituauthorAug 06.2010 — Hello guys thanks for your reply's. I am thinking to make the resolution dynamic based on the device size. what do you think is it possible that website will change the resolution according to the device using which it can be viewed ?

@NailkitaAug 06.2010 — Here's some links I have in my resource pile: The first will give you some script for detecting mobile so you can redirect for a new page, the next is iphone specific for detecting orientation and such (I think the viewport thing works for blackberries too) I can't seem to find my resources for blackberry specific stuff.

@modpod77Aug 08.2010 — I think is because for Mobile version they reduce some picture or make it less sharp, mobile can't work as fast as computer!

Mine is a NOkia N79 and I have some problem with Gmail Mobile version, it can't work. Does any one have idea about this?
