Chasing every device is a lost cause pick the top ones create a solution for them and follow you analytic's and if you see a handset hitting your site more and more often then add a template for it. The above will depend on where you traffic is coming from and what type of content you sell but the principle is the same!

Each browser works differently on each phone, even the same phone, different versions can have different functionality. It's pretty much only wap that is even, the rest is all over the place. Designing for browsers is what you do on a pc - designing for technology is what you do for portable devices.
Designing for various technologies is key today, even Google does it.. ignoring them is lost money on mobile/portable devices, each has a market value, each just as strong as the next, even if it's small.
