Hello,

I got another semi - non asia/EU related mobile phone question to field 
to you all...

I am currently working as the Lead Information Architect  on a large 
scale content delivery project for SBC SMARTpages.com
here in the US... Part of the new site rollout involves mobile phone 
content delivery... We are using a hardware solution to deliver
the web pages and content to the mobile phones... My question is, even 
with mobile phone emulators, your still going to need to use real world 
handsets to test out delivery and rendering? It would be silly to 
totally rely upon the hardware solution to render it as you wanted, 
correct? The second part of my question is... Are there people/offices 
at the various top level mobile phone manufactures (Sony Ericsson, 
Samsung, Nokia, Motorola, etc.) that I can get in touch with about 
getting some loaner mobile phones  to use for our internal QA and 
testing? They would be returned once we are complete with our site 
testing...  Is this a common practice? Or are the phones purchased? 
Please advise... I have been given the mandate to become the authority 
on this aspect of the site development...

I look forward to your feedback, notes, ideas, information on this...

Best,
Jason.
