Openwave Phone Simulator 7.0, Version 7.0.107, is a
Windows-based application. And, for my Mac, thar's the rub. But I
suppose I could look to installing it on a Win box I have. Thanks
for this. I have it bookmarked.
I hope this software does not lull users into error by allowing
much bigger and better screens and button controls than are to be
found on real life mobiles that most people can afford?
