I Don't Have A WAP Phone!
To create a WAP site you don't need a WAP enabled phone. You can get a WAP simulator for a PC. This is a piece of software which will give you a WAP phone on your desktop. You can then type in the URLs of WAP sites and can view them on your PC. You can get a very good free WAP simulator from YourWAP
How Do WAP Sites Compare To Normal Ones?
WAP sites are not like standard web sites at all. As an example, you can see http://muneerwap.peperonity.com on your mobile phone or using a WAP simulator on your computer, You can download OpenWave Simulator for free at developer.openwave.com or Nokia simulator at forum.nokia.com . Sites written in WML are very limited and there is very little screen space. Because of this you must be very careful when you are designing a WAP site as it is nothing like a web site.
