It should be fluid lay-out, XHTML 1.0 Transitional is OK. Some phones only understand WAP, some only HTML. You should use HTML, WAP is not used very much and even the iPhone does not support it. Make the files as small as possible (minify them) and use small images. Use simple navigation and take a look at other mobile sites. The best for navigation should be a list (ul).
Some examples are:
Also, make a version special for smartphones/phones with big screens (like Blackberry storm or iPhone). They have more memmory and can handle more images etc… They often come with cheap internet or internet whit a static price (e.g. $10/month for infinite internet (that month)).
