The iPhone and the Droid specifically ignore the "handheld" value and render pages using the "screen" style sheet, attempting to re-scale everything to fit. This is a known issue (and I've tested it myself).
because the existing "handheld" stylesheets were mostly written for blackberries and similar, so the iPhone experience would be cruddy in practice if it didn't ignore those stylesheets; html standards are good in theory, but sometimes the existing body of practice puts makes them a poor choice
if you're willing to let go of standards purism slightly, it's not to hard to find a practical solution; some good suggestions and background in this article:
