In all seriousness, phone browsers are *hard* to deal with, since there's huge huge variance in how much of which standards they obey, or try to fake, and it seems to be hard to test on them if, well, you don't have one handy.
In an ideal world, the vendors should have fully-capable emulators available for free download and evaluation by web developers, so their products will actually be useful to the public. I'm not sure that's the case, though, at least the last time I checked. If someone has more experience in this regard, please let us know.
Isn't Opera one of the leaders of the cell phone browser market? It has pages on designing stuff for its small-screen browsers: http://my.opera.com/community/dev/
