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....

The phone validation had been implemented to guard against terrorists.
Eventually, they (Google, not the terrorists) figured out that they
(terrorists, not Google) have mobile phones too, so they dropped the
plan.
Well Duh!
