Our mobile site is designed to work on modern smartphones. If you’re using a 4 year old Nokia phone with a 120×160 screen, our site does not and will not work for you. If you want to test on older/less-smart phones, PPK has a quick overview post that has some pointers. Even so, getting the current smartphone OS running is no piece of cake. So this post will outline how to get iPhone, Android, WebOS, and, ugh, BlackBerry running in emulation. Note: I left out Windows Mobile, as does 99% of the smartphone buying public.
