At last, The Guardian newspaper has released a version for the iPhone (and other mobiles). And not before time. The regular website proves (to me) that you can pinch and zoom a page as much as you like, but it ‘aint easy to read and navigate on a mobile phone. It also showed how flaky Safari is on the iPhone – wait ages for a page to load only for the Javascript to cause the browser to commit suicide.
So, for a stress-free news catchup, try m.guardian.co.uk

Can I just say that I HATE sites that render a mobile or iPhone version, especially when they don’t even give you a choice not to see the full version. I have a pretty good browser on my iPhone and I want the full experience, not just what someone thinks I want as a mobile user. How I hate you mobile amazon.co.uk. Of course until apple lets adobe put flash on the iphone you will never get the full experience on a lot of sites.
@alun, I take your point about giving you the choice, but I’m guessing your not a Guardian reader.. or you have tiny fingers! Nigh on impossible to navigate on the iPhone.
One fundamental flaw in the iPhone design is that trying to navigate the screen, you end up activating the links.
I think that amazon is a great example of a mobile web site
