Maybe if there were some test cases, people could try them on hteir
phones and report back? I'd be happy to. (Sony Ericsson K610i here,
standard browser...whatever that is)
Another idea might be a custom app like the Gmail one which works
really really well. Said app would assign the search box to a key or
something...
Fwiw, I find that browsing on the phone is acceptable, if improvable.
Trying it now the biggest issue seems to be some fonts are way too big
(headings etc should all probably be rendered as standard size with
bold), and some trivial text (disambig links etc) ends up taking a lot
of space. infoboxes display pretty badly. You almost want to just
display 'infobox' as a link rather than the full thing. And perhaps
the [edit] section links should be suppressed? Who the hell wants to
edit Wikipedia from their phone? :)
