2. Introduction
This document is a style guide for creating World Wide Web services for the Nokia 9210 Communicator device. Nokia
9210 Communicator is an advanced communications device with a feature-rich web browser. However, the screen
size and the wireless communication link should be taken into account when designing services that are both fast and
easy to use, and offer the user maximum enjoyability.
In addition to Nokia 9210 Communicator-specific issues, many of the instructions in this document can be used to
maximize interoperability and ease of use on various other browsers.

3. Additional Reading
1
This document tries to explain the basic principles which make your web site more enjoyable for the users of Nokia
9210 Communicator. If you need further information or guidelines for simple and effective design, we recommend the
following books and publications. In addition to the Nokia 9210 Communicator, these guidelines will help you to
create web sites for other small-screen and portable browsers, including the Nokia 9110 Communicator, and many
other wireless devices.
• Designing Web Usability: The Practice of Simplicity by Jakob Nielsen, New Riders Publishing, ISBN 1-56205-810-X.
Most of the guidelines in this book will offer considerable benefits for mobile users.
• Web Content Accessibility Guidelines from the World Wide Web Consortium, May 1999,
http://www.w3.org/TR/WAI-WEBCONTENT/. Even if most of this document is targeted to help creating web pages
for people with disabilities, many of the principles can be directly applied to users of small, wireless information
devices; particularly guidelines 2, 6, 8, 9, and 11.
