Mobile web apps

I'm developing a little contact manager which I want to send details to from my cell phone (motorolla v51 I think)...

I can think of a few ways to get data/contacts from my phone to a web app:

1. Send an email formatted in INI format of the body (PITA)
2. Load a WAP version of the page

I have flipped through this quickly:

And I just read the WAP on Wiki but I'm wondering if anyone else has suggestions???

Ideally I would fill out a FORM returned as a much simpler version of the web app (no tabs, etc) maybe just the domain, login and be shown a quick FORM version of the full blown thing...

What should I be reading up on? How would you deliver such a FORM which accepted say first, last name, age, street, etc???

Get a phone that can do real web pages. Preferably with a keyboard.

I'm stuck with the same carrier for another year yet and my phone is antiquated. Besides if I can do it on my phone others could surely do something similar on theres, which would be nice. :)
