I presume that you live in the US, so that may me true for you.
But if you look at the market share in Europe and Worldwide you'll see that
market is still dominated by Nokia and specially by dumbphones.
Then you have mobile operators (e.g. Vodafone) that have WAP proxies which
adapt content for dumbphones.
We have find out that the DOCTYPEs that deliver the best results and are
globally best supported are XHTML Basic and XHTML MP (both should be
delivered with content type application/xhtml+xml).

The Mobile Web Best Practices (http://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-bp/) seems more
appropriate for this than the HTML 4 specification.
