Webkit is the mobile IE6 if you ask me. Very narrow minded design and testing from the people who usually bitch about IE6. Oh the irony.
I don't understand the basis for that position and don't think it's true at all. Why do you think that's comparable at all?
Remember when sites were "optimised for IE". Well we're there again but it's not IE.

Granted it works better but it's still developing for one platform only and excluding others. Remember when sites were "optimised for IE". Well we're there again but it's not IE.

Doesn't appear to work on my lumia 800. Just says "Loading..." infinitely.
Same on HTC Sensation with 4.0.3 on board
I have tested on 4.0.4 and someone i know using it on samsung android 4.0.2. Not sure what is so special about HTC sensation.
If you can go to this page and copy paste what you see there may help me to get some idea about your browser.
I'm resigned to the fact this website will never improve at all.
Not only will they not make the website better they are incentivised to not make it better. With the current look/feel/behavior be it good or bad they have grown because of it. Any change they make is likely to make the number of users go down. And as much as the users care about quality the owners metric is always number of users so why change it if it is "working". I am on the watch for a new social tech news site…

If you want a mobile first version of Hacker News for now, a fan created a nice HTML5 app version of the site.

It doesn't work for IE9. The author built it with HTML5 stuff, so sadly the IE9 WP7 won't work. But you should be used to that for mobile websites, people kinda just build for WebKit on mobile.

Your phone is not able to put page shortcuts on the homescreen or whatever?
That's not the point :D. It works better than a simple bookmark, with slide to change from page to comments, etc.
I fail to see how it could be anything else. You previously stated:
> it offers visibility on app list and when I have a few free moments, I look at my phone apps and I say "Great, let's see what's new on HN"
I do not know about you — hence the interrogative — but I can (and do) put bookmarks on my home screens, right next to applications and thus with the exact same visibility.

It's not, IE6 was not standards compliant.
And it has lots of proprietary extensions.
How is it different?
I much prefer the current HN smartphone experience to some stupid thing that displays one comment at a time in a huge font and is missing half the options. It does suck on non-smartphones phones, but nobody cares about that anyway.
It looks fine on the iPhone 5 http://imgur.com/i3fEdol No massive text size , more than 5 words per line ,etc
