Why is my Android device-width 980px?

I am confused. I am trying to make a website responsive by playing around with media queries.according to most sources, for example this, the mediq-query to use for smartphones is \[code\]max-device-width: 480px\[/code\] and \[code\]min-device-width: 320px\[/code\].But when i use these queries, my android 2.x does still show the "computer version" of the page. So i started changing the values on the query and noticed that my phone seems to have the device-width of 980px..Why is that? I really want to get a grip of this, sure i could just be happy with it working when using 980 but I want to know what is going on and why? I mean my phone isn't supposed to be 980px wide or high for that matter, is it some kind of pixel density problem?
