        Amazon and several of the larger news outlets (CNN, ABC) have
WML portals.

        We've got Motorola i1000plus phones from Nextel at work that
have WAP support.  It's pretty handy, but it's not going to replace
your desktop browser any time soon (and it has some implementation
issues like their (Nextel's) gateway won't accept content from https
servers using self signed certificates, which makes it somewhat useful
for providing secure remote access to our network monitoring app).
