The Firefox extension Web Developer has a quick way to resize the
screen, and it also has "display CSS by media type -- handheld / print".
I don't know if there are any other things that need to be considered,
other than nix the Java and probably JavaScript.
I still use a handheld with a 180x180 screen, from 2001, but I suspect
the ones that actually connect to the web would be newer and larger. My
phone claims to browse the web and has an even smaller screen, but I
haven't successfully browsed anywhere with it.
Cheers!
