Can
my handset run QuickCalc Mobile?
Like the
desktop versions, the QuickCalc mobile tools run in a web
browser. Check the table below to see if your handset already
has a compatible browser - or whether it requires »
Opera Mobile to be installed. 
Even where
the the browser is compatible you will
still see improvements in performance and appearance with »
Opera Mobile
»
Opera Mobile is a separate high quality application
- not developed by QuickCalc - and costs around £12 plus
VAT.

What
screensize is needed?
There are
2 versions of the tools (see table below).
The first set is designed for 320*240 pixel screens.
The other is designed for screens sizes down to 175 pixels wide
making them suitable for very small screens.
OK - they're
very small - so what's missing?
Well...
nothing. The tools are all based on the same calc system as the
desktop tools. They have just been redesigned to fit smaller
screens.
Can I see
them in action?
Yes - you
can either view them on your mobile device using the addresses
given below - or use the desktop simulator so you can view them
without actually having a PDA to hand.

So what is the cost?
Use of the tools is included in a standard QuickCalc license. If you have a QuickCalc license for the desktop tools then you're already covered. For new users licensing starts from £27 per user per year.
