Can i see everything that is written on the site? can i play videos on it? will i likely bounce out of the site and go to one that is properly rendered for a small screen and pay for my product there instead?
the other thing to think about is that billing options on mobile make it so much easier to convert its traffic hence why conversions on mobile are higher. If a user can simply click and buy and pay for it with his next phone bill, the conversion is much higher than asking someone to get their credit card out when they are: at work/on the hoof/tube/bus/car/train/living room with the mrs in the other corner................
my point being that you will still need to go out and get operator billing in place if you want to give yourself the best chance of converting your traffic even if your site is viewable on a mobile phone so now is as good a time as any to organise it no?

No. I think you will wait to get on your computer and come back to my site
because the curiosity of not being able to see everything will drive you nuts.
The reason you hit my site is because you thought I had what you wanted.
Otherwise, why are you there? You'll still think I have what you wanted because
you already know some sites will not work that well with your phone.
I see the same IP switching browsers on my site within minutes; some of that
could be people on the phone switching back to the laptop because my site works
in all other browsers.
