One useful tool is an emulator this allows you to confirm that your pages conform to standard and also view what they look like on a small screen.
There is a simple emulator online from the .mobi people.

I am also trying out the OpenWave simulator and the nokia simulator.

http://forum.nokia.com/ (requires registration)
When a mobile phone accesses an internet site it is doing this via a gateway. The gateway is provided by your mobile operator or ISP and converts the WAP commands from the phone into HTTP commands for the web server. The simulator may also need a WAP gateway (also called WAP Proxy)
In the Openwave software this is built in, for the Nokia emulator you will also need to install proxy software.
