Have you tried it with and without the www in front? Cell phone browsers can be finicky little bastards.
Some people juggle geese!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hey Sean:
But if you're forced to look elsewhere around the Web while on a low-bandwidth connection, do yourself a favor and bookmark Google's Enter A URL page reformatting tool. Any URL you enter there will come out in a tight, handheld-friendly column without pictures, if you set it up that way. There's nothing faster and cheaper to load than a pared-down page--and it won't turn you into a Popeye if you look at it on a notebook.

Yeah, I've tried it with the entire http ://www...., just the www.... and just typing in buffistas.org. None of them work. There might be helpful information on the Cingular website. I should check that out someday.

Feh. My phone browser won't load that page either.

Apparently there is a Java version of Opera that's designed to run on cell phones: [link]
Dunno how feasible this is....

That page is incredibly simple. Just text, a text box, button and check box. If your phone won't even load that....
Although that page is actually html inside xml, so maybe it's the xml that's the problem....

That's what I'm wondering. I think I'll try the Opera thing. That just might work.

It's so crazy it just might work!
They'll never expect it!
It's quiet... too quiet...
Sorry - I think my brain needs rebooting.

Yay!
ETA: So Sean, does that Opera browser have some server somewhere that compresses web pages before sending it to your phone?
