Keep in mind this article is from 2005. Much of his advice is not at all what I 
would do (and am doing) today. Is your site templatized? If so, use CFWURFL to 
sniff the the mobile users and then set a request flag to determine if the 
users get the mobile or "normal" templates. 

I also greatly disagree with the advice to create a standalone site for mobile. 
This destroys your position in search engines for mobile users. It also pushes 
the mobile users into a ghetto of different functionality. It's better to treat 
them as you would a different class of desktop browser (you know...IE).

My two cents...
