^a couple of people have already said theirs works well (blackberry or iphone). If it were a WAP then those of us who have the "smaller" phones could see it fine as well. Difference being one is an all text mode and the other allows graphics and such. For my phone, I can handle some graphics, but if there is alot going on, then teh phone short circuits on me. Smartphones have the capability to run windows (or like program), which allows the graphics to appear without too much memory override 
Wow..I sounded a bit techie there...hehehehe

It works for my small phone, but I had to remove the google adsense code so that my father's phone could get the weather.
Are you getting an error?
If you're getting an error does this page work? http://www.albertlea.com/mobile/dad.shtml

I pulled the adsense code off the rest of the pages, hopefully they work now, and should be faster.

I checked out the new link from the first post on my BB(posting from it now). Interesting result- the front page loaded very quickly and looked very nice. Once I clicked on a topic the page load speed slowed way down again.
I don't know if it's worth the time to build a mirror page on forum comments like you did the front page. It would be really nice but probably a real pain.

On a related provider note. I have Verizon with all the offerings. I have coverage everywhere and haven't dropped a call in a few months. Beware if you're switching to them- they tend to cost about 25-35% more than most other carriers. If AL only has a single tower and that's primarily where you'll be using your cell, I don't think you'll get the full value. If you travel like I do on a daily basis,you'll find you can't live without it.
I can be in the boondocks and receive gmail and work emails from MS enterprise server right on my phone. I can seemlessly respond and many don't know that I'm not working from an office. I can plug it into my laptop and it's like having a 2 meg connection- not super fast but about the same as dsl.
I've even plugged it into a 4 port wireless switch and given 3 other people internet access during a presentation.
Additionally, I'm doing a lot of work in DAS (distributed antenna systems) right now where it extends and distributes cell service inside enterprise structures and campuses. With DAS being more and more prevalent, you'll find all the features available from the cell phone will be more robust and reliable. It's a very exciting vertical to be working in right now.

The forum speed is dependent on my providers overloaded SQL server, so it's laggy when the net is busy
What do you mean a mirror page on forum contents?

I'm not sure how they work exactly, but I think they repackage the active content but remove the other stuff- like the ad stuff you took off on the front page for mobile viewing. I'm not a web or html guy so I can't speak beyond that.
It's also hard telling what the provider's traffic does vs the content. My double post above happened while it took nearly 5 minutes to post. I don't know if that was on my end or yours. Probably mine. I just reset the BB and things are a little quicker.
