Most WordPress sites look fine on a iPhone – except any flash content (slideshows, music players etc) don’t show up. The Safari browser in iPhone is virtually identical to the one on the desktop – and there is a windows version too.
There are WordPress plugins that will sense when a mobile client (browser) is viewing your site and entirely reformat the html in a simpler way. the downside is that you lose all your formating and design – unless you take extra time customizing that new mobile theme.
I like WP mobile edition. sample here. It has a robust display of pages and posts and you can simply edit the mobile theme that come with it to customize the look.
I also used mobilepress. screenshots here. It works fine but the default mobile theme is less sophisticated.
