frames are shown, so it is unwise to use them for page layout. Avoid frames if possible, and note that the IFRAME
element is not supported.
However, if you choose to use frames, please do give descriptive names for them and do not use them solely for the
purposes of page layout. If possible, provide a way to access the page without frames. If you are linking to another
page, avoid the situation where a new set of frames is loaded inside a frame as then the usability quickly deteriorates
on a small display.
When using frames, a black background colour is not recommended, as it is easier for the user to resize frames when
using a light-coloured background.
5.2.5 Choose Descriptive Page Titles And Document Names
Page titles have much more visual impact on Nokia 9210 Communicator than what they usually have on a PC-based
browser. It is very useful to give a descriptive name for the page. It might be a good idea to start the title with your
service’s name and keep the total length of the title short.
It also pays to use meaningful URLs since the user sees the URL of the currently selected link on the screen and can
use it as a navigational help, especially when images have not been loaded.

5.2.6 Pay Attention to the First Screenful
Nokia 9210 Communicator’s screen size depends on user settings as follows:
Horizontal viewable area Vertical viewable area
Default 478 pixels
5
170 pixels
No title bar 478 pixels 195 pixels
Full screen mode 635 pixels 170 pixels
Full screen mode and no title bar 635 pixels 195 pixels
Full screen mode, no title bar and
scroll bars disabled

This value may change between 478 and 528 pixels, depending on the length of command names in the command button
area. The size of the command button area depends on the device language.
