Does Anyone Know How To Make a Nokia E7 Show Ads?

[HuskyPup]

I like to test my sites across as many platforms as possible including all types of mobile phones however the one phone I cannot get to display ads is my own Nokia E7!

iPhone, Blackberry, Motorola, Samsung, Sony et al seem to be able to display ads but no matter what setting I try my E7 does not, it just leaves a blank space, it doesn't even try to pretend nothing's there.

Any ideas? Apart from that it's an incredible piece of kit.

What kind of browser does it have?

Amend - looking at Google it looks like it might have Opera? You want to look and see if it's got some kind of built in ad blocker; some of them do.

I see adsense using Opera mobile..( not Opera mini ).. ( with default settings ) on a ZTE blade S..just tried your .co.uk ..redirects to your dotcom :)
it didn't redirect me to a mobile version ?
But I get an adsense ad ( just the one ) at the bottom of the page..

Must be just a Nokia E7 thing that you need to tweak..

Aha...gotcha, when Google.co.uk started demoting my .com I uploaded a duplicate site to the .co.uk and quite a few pages are ranking quite well now.

I've tried both the native browser and Opera Mini and neither show ads. There must be a blocker somewhere, I'll have to keep looking.

Try Opera mobile ( you'll have to download it )..Opera mini is a different ( and even in Opera's opinion ) animal that doesn't work 100% on true smart-phones..not showing adsense is.. IIRC.. one of the things Opera mentioned somewhere about "mini"..

But the thing is, you probably want to make sure it works in whatever the "default" browser and configuration that the device comes with, in order to reach the most users.

Adsense doesn't even work on desktop safari with E7's user-agent.

E7 should be running symbian^3 ( with the nokia browser 7.2 ) or symbian anna (with nokia browser 7.3 )..thus info here

would be relevant..
and if it is 7.3 here

You could always sign up at nokia in their dev forum and ask them about it ..but given their tie-in with MS they might not give you an answer :)
Opera mini has always been weird about adsense delivery ..

Works in G mobile browser ( the android default version ) but does not direct one to the mobile version..I have noticed something in the code which might prevent some browsers showing the top banner..Opera does not show this on mobile..But as it involves "specifics" will send you a sticky..
