Websites with iPhone Interfaces

Well I figured that sites designed with the iphone in mind would look and load great on our phones, but it turns out it doesnt work that way.
So far I have tried facebook and digg's version in iphone format, but they dont work right.

Does anyone have any idea why? Is there a browser for our phones that lets you view the whole web page, but zoomed in and out like the iphone browser?

opera but they havent released a stable version for our phones yet. I read somewhere that they are making Safari (the iphone browser) for PPC, i think i saw it on pdaphonehome.com

I have opera, the java version running on jbed and it works great...Never had an issue with it. But with pocket plus 4, I get almost all the functionality of opera within IE

speaking of those type browsers what ever happened to Microsoft's Deep Fish browser? it looked promising, curious.

I had posted in another forum at one time, that there is a browser coming out called "Wake3".

Oct. 11, 2007

Wake3, a Silicon Valley stealth-mode startup, reportedly has developed a Windows Mobile version of WebKit, the open-source HTML rendering engine used by Apple in its Safari Web browser. "WebKit for Windows Mobile" is said to be available now to device manufacturers, wireless operators, and enterprises.

I havent looked today, but webkit.org is the site its supposed to be at when its release.
