Salve!
In Germany is the using of wap pages quite expensive¹
and unpopulare (You better by a news paper then reading
some wap pages) and I would use elinks on my server
remotly instead of using a wap proxy, but I think a
wap browser would be interesting for some user :)
With atp-cache search and a look on freshmeat.net I
found only wApua:
http://fsinfo.cs.uni-sb.de/~abe/wApua/About.html
I installed it on my system (Debian) and try to use
http://wap.bahn.de - the wap page of the German railway,
but I couldn't fill in Station Name and Time... so
it was not successfully.
Searching for Zaurus "wap browser" let me find the Java
browser Wapaka
http://www.digitalairways.com/daw/wpkaboutmidlet.jsp
not tested yet...
Do you know another wap browser?
Greetings,

PS: Some GSM provider offers a GPRS data pack with e.g. 10 MB.
I had once such a data pack, but the provider conted the
connection as wap-click - every page count with 5 or 10 Cent!
10 pages=more expensive than a coffe or a news paper!
They argued this would be because I use an old browser...
hallo?
OpenMoko will allows to use a VPN than you are free from
such bad tricks...
And BTW AFAIK every GSM-provider beside T-Mobile use a NAT
or firewall so communication could be started with incomming
connections - this avoid that someone send you traffic for fun
and you have to pay for it.
