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. :)
If you'll buy us some fancy cell phones, we'll see what we can do. ;)
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.
