Do cell-phones correctly use stylesheets that are declared for @mobile? Because if they do use those, then that should help at least as much as switching to Simple, provided someone wants to write up mobile CSS (do we have some already?) Of course, ideally we'd also want to cut back on image resolution and whatnot (for which UA strings would presumably be needed if we wanted to skip preferences).
I just got a sidekick 3 phone, which has a nice big screen. Wikipedia does not look good on it. One problem is that I have to scroll through far too much auxiliary stuff before I can see the articles.
I have no idea what the answer to this is, but it would be cool if it worked better. :)
Oddly, I would bet that your phone's browser *is* trying to interpret CSS, and that's why it looks bad: our layout puts the article first, and the navigation at the bottom, then relies on CSS to pull the nav up where it "belongs". Check to see if your browser has a "turn CSS off" knob, and see if turning it off helps any.
