*IMPORTANT* Messages from Luca
Sign the Manifesto! Rules for Ethical Reformatting: A Developer Manifesto is developers' answer to the arrogance of Vodafone, Novarra and all of the others who find it legitimate to disrupt the mobile web. If you want to sign, drop Luca an email with your name, title and company.
People of J2ME, mBricks has started a great initiative which will make J2ME-related data in WURFL shine! the initiative is fully endorsed by me and, if you are serious about J2ME, I urge you to read about what mBricks is planning and get involved ASAP. Now is the time to talk.
THIS IS HUGE: WURFLDB ANNOUNCED: The WURFLDB is a public interface to submit WURFL data. Contributors can add data and walk away with a new WURFL repository right away. All the details here!
Read Luca's RANT against Vodafone's decision to hide the User-Agent string from all HTTP requests on their network!. If you work in the UK, you should act now.

Welcome to the WURFL
the Wireless Universal Resource File

So... What is WURFL?
The WURFL is an XML configuration file which contains information about capabilities and features of many mobile devices.

The main scope of the file is to collect as much information as we can about all the existing mobile devices that access WAP pages so that developers will be able to build better applications and better services for the users.

This project is open-source and is intended for developers working with the WAP and Wireless. All the information listed here has been collected by many different people from many different countries. You are allowed to use WURFL in any of your applications, free or commercial. The only thing required is to make any modification to this file public, following the original spirit and idea of the creators of this project. This will help WURFL to grow better and better every day.

Of course, a disclaimer is due here:

There is no guarantee of any kind that any of the info in the WURFL is correct. All the information has been gathered by collecting reports from users and developers around the globe.

On the other hand, WURFL is deployed at carriers and portals around the globe. Developers from around the world send us device info on a daily basis.
To add to that, we import data from UAProf profile and manually fix the UAprof data that we discover to be wrong. In terms of adoption, WURFL is today more popular than pure UAProf solutions.

If you find the WURFL useful, feel free to use it and contribute to future development.


You can read more about the requirements and the evolution of the WURFL so far in the 'About WURFL' section.
You can post any noteworthy modification and/or comment on the WMLProgramming mailing list on Yahoo Groups:

Alternatively, you can email your modification to the Luca Passani, the WURFL maintainer, at passani at eunet dot no. Please read the Contribute Device Info before sending your updates.
