Oh gawd, I knew that'd come up.

Yes, we do have a few handsets with XHTML browsers (I'm a 3650 owner
myself - it does XHTML, the 7650 doesn't by default), but if you're
producing a service and want to address the largest audience possible,
WAP is what is out there in any significant numbers.

I've no doubt XHTML is the future, but right now WAP is where it's at...
in UK/Europe anyway.
