Hi,
the Wikipedia information team [info-en@wikimedia.org] pointed me to this mailing list to report a problem I found with the new mobile wikipedia:
After having enjoyed mobile.wikipedia.org for quite some time I noticed there is a new m.wikipedia.org availaible. I just tested it on my Nokia E71 with Symbian web browser and found that the [Show] buttons that should display an article's section just don't work - the sections are never shown.
Regardless oft he non-functionality I would prefer the previous method used on mobile.wikipedia.org: It loads smaller junks (tends to be faster), provides a content listing, and works on any browser - but this is only a personal preference.
Just wanted to let you know there is a problem lurking around.
Thanx for all your effort on all versions of wikipedia!
Have fun, Nik

I believe it's to do with the limited support for JavaScript in the browser, I have already filled a bug [1] about it when I noticed this happening.

Excellent. :) I've also sent a note to Hampton, but I think he's out at a Ruby conference this weekend so might not have a chance to poke it for a few days.
Anyone know if there's an emulator available for that system which we can test with? Otherwise it might end up waiting until we get ahold of a test unit unless someone with one can figure out what's going wrong at the JS level.
