Drop quality for more usabilty?

toxicpaint
Hi all,

I'm in a bit of a predicament as to what I should do with our site in terms of mobile browsing.

I've built the site and it looks good pretty much across the board and now I'm thinking about people who don't sit at a desk and browse the site.

The problem is that the site looks great at the moment on the iPhone and iPod touch without a mobile device styesheet. If I enable a stylesheet to alter the way it looks on portable devices, I assume it will alter the way it appears on the iphone.. From what I've seen of the way windows mobile 6 renders websites and other phones it's pretty poo and I'll have to strip the site down to a lot simpler looking site. Surely I'm hindering people who will be using an iPhone by doing this..

What should I do?!
