The site does not ONLY work on a Nokia N95. Whatever phone hits the site, the plugin optimizes the content for that device. So, if it's a WML device then WML is served. Higher end devices get more advanced markup. Everything in between is catered for - images are resized according to the capabilities of the device, quirks are accounted for and so on. A .mobi score means nothing at all because it requires that you create one mobile site that adheres to very basic standards so that as a lowest common denominator it works across most devices. Our system creates the appropriate markup for devices. So, again, a .mobi score means nothing. What matters is that the site looks and performs to the capabilities of all devices.

Your website is not mobile-friendly only because it works on your Nokia N95. After all I'm quite astounded that you don't even know that some mobile phones do not show anything when they are unable to render a website. They do not try to show what they are capable of - they just stop. I guess that's what the commentor ment and I know that this behaviour is quite common out there. Maybe you should stop talking about how bad that mobility test is and how good you site looks on your N95 and start working on a plugin that actually works and gets better scorings.
