Nokia Sites Do Not Render Properly in Safari

August 11th, 2008 • Mark Guim • Filed Under •

I remember it’s been a while since Nokia sites have displayed properly on my Mac using the Safari browser. What’s taking Nokia so long to fix this problem? Do they even know they have this problem? Aren’t all the built-in web browser on the latest Nokia Eseries, Nseries, and even the iPhone run on Safari engine? What’s going on?

Nokia websites not displaying properly

The image above was taken from my computer. If you have your phone with you (Nseries, Eseries, or iPhone), try going to Nokia USA or Nokia Europe and see that the results are similar. Isn’t it ironic that Nokia’s own websites do not work properly on their own devices?

  • The S60 Browser runs on Webkit. No matter though, Nokia sites often don't render properly in the S60 Browser either... ;)
  • yep same issue here

    @Zach I believe the article states "Safari Engine". Saying it runs on Webkit is restating the same as Webkit IS the Safari Engine. I use macs at home and have noticed this issue a few times, however the pages will render just fine for me a majority of the time.
