OK - it looks as if they have changed it back to the old system. When I tried to set up a Gmail account a couple of months ago the mobile phone issue was the stumbling block, but I just tried it again and was able to set up a new account without problems. I suspect they had a few complaints about the mobile phone validation, especially as they suggested that you use a friend's mobile number if you didn't own a mobile yourself - a good way to lose friends I would have thought....
