Sprint opens Openwave across product line
by Matt Hickey on March 18, 2008

logo openwaveSprint is upgrading its cellphones to the Openwave platform for Web browsing.

Openwave is a combination of the Openwave proxy server that makes pages more mobile-friendly, and the OpenWeb browser, which is a full-HTML browser that renders pages nicely.

The big picture is it gives Sprint phones the ability to browse the whole Web in a useful way, not just WAP or mobile-themed sites. Other browsers, notably Opera Mini, use a similar approach, but this is interesting because Sprint’s pushing this across its entire line of devices.
