The "killer app" for mobile phone browsing is directory services.
Yellow Pages, that kind of thing - the sort of thing you look for when
you're in a strange town, it's 1.00am and you need a taxi now. In
other words, it's all about information.

No, it isn't - because old hardware doesn't imply old software.

Thanks. Hmm... looks like most of the web currently violates those
guidelines. 20 kb page weight including graphics?
Anybody know of a web site that people use with their phones, so I can
see what it looks like in a "normal" browser?

No -- it's a bad argument.
I've got Cello, UdiWWW, several copies of Mosaic (different versions from
0.6 beta to 3.x) and various other very old browsers. Pure CSS designs,
properly separating content from style, almost invariably look better in
these older browsers than table-based layouts do.

There are workarounds for that. Like proxies that reduce content
size specifically for mobile phones.
Any site you'd like to see. When I was developing such a proxy,
the Client had a huge list of test sites of all kind. I recollect
one or two news sites as being quite challenging, for instance.

Except of course such a thing is very well solved by phoning someone,
so that use case is already fulfilled, indeed the web attempt is
nearly always considerably slower - many taking the same amount of
time to even establish a data connection as it is to have been put
through to a taxi service and ordered the taxi.
