If you'd like to see what your website looks like on a cell phone, here's the Barkley’s Mobile Web Emulator. It only offers three but that should be enough to give you an idea of whether anyone can enjoy your website that way.

I'm getting more of these 'AAARRGGG' moments. I've set up css style for mobile devices and the stoopid phones completely ignore my efforts and use the default CSS. It means the uses ends up seeing all sorts of stuff I don't want them to. Most annoying.

Good link Barry, thanks.

I know what you mean; the most frustrating thing about CSS for mobile devices is the consistency. Mobile browsers are very consistent about being inconsistent...

Thanks for this link, Barry - always good to find a few more mobile emulators!

The link is broken..and I just realized the thread is several years old? Any recommendations for other cell phone emulators? Thanks much, JC

Hi JCSmith!
This thread has some good cell phone ideas in it. Pierre recommends a FireFox plugin that can switch between multiple emulators.

I've always used the Opera Mini simulator:
