You scroll down and click on Next Page to browse through the pages. Depending on article length, every page is divided into two or more pages.

If you want to search for something, you'll have to browse to the last page and scroll all the way down. Since this is done on the cellphone and not on a computer, it's obviously not very userfriendly. I don't know if anyone took in consideration cellphone surfing when creating the Wiki pages, but it would be more convinient to have the search option at the top of the first page. Or at least somewhere in the middle. Just a tought.

They aren't official Wikimedia Foundation projects, but there are a 
couple of attempts at bringing Wikipedia content to WAP devices: 
[[w:en:Wikipedia:WAP access]] discusses a few of them.
