Ikea Web Page Crashes Nokia Device 1

Posted by JD 03/03/2010 at 09:12

Today, I was doing a little online shopping using my Nokia N800. Ikea has a few price cuts on bookcases and they looked interesting, so I wanted more information.

I visited ikea.com and clicked United States – crash. Not just a browser crash, but a forced reboot of the entire device. SWEET! The N800 uses a modified Mozilla browser running a version of Linux, BTW. This isn’t a normal cell phone or otherwise limited browser. I’m not running with any special permissions either. Crashes shouldn’t be possible.

Good job Ikea. My N800 is 3 yrs old and this is the first time it has crashed to a reboot. Impressive. May I suggest you review your web site for errors?

    What one might perceive as idiosyncrasies in nomenclature I view as divine irony and friendly Finnish-Swedish rivalry.
    To be fair, it doesn’t like my elinks either. There’s a javascript popup to let me know.
