I’m with Darren. When I’m on my Droid, I will scroll to the bottom of a mobile site and turn it off. I hate them. You lose a lot of useful information that would be on the same page on the “normal” site, especially side bar links. I understand the need to optimize your site for mobility but when it compromises usability, what is the point. I would rather scroll sideways and up/down to have everything right at my fingertips rather than having to go back and forth to differenct pages (or even worse having to search the site) to find what you want that you know is on the page you were on originally if it wasn’t a mobile site.

As an end user “mobile” sites irritate me. I spent this money to get a phone that can get full version sites so I can enjoy all the benifits that come along with it. Mobile sites are the wrong direction. People who spend the money on phones like the iPhone and droids didn’t spend it to get a watered down version of a website!

I agree, mobile optimization is important, since most people are on-the-go. They want to get information quickly, without the need to zoom in and scroll. They will likely leave a Website if it looks terrible on their mobile device.
