Hmm...well, with T-Mobile, I don't see a way to *not* use their proxy,
so in my case, I *am* forced to get stuff through a proxy server. 
Whether or not it does reformatting is beyond me, but I do know that
once upon a time, maybe back when Handspring was still around, they
were the proxy server for Blazer -- the browser was set up for all
traffic to go through them so they could reformat the pages on the
fly.  Slow, but things generally looked pretty good even on the small
screen.

With that said, I'd much prefer a direct connection and let the
handheld handle whatever arrives.
