When is a Moblogs a REAL MOBlog?

There are lots of blogs out there that claim to be moblogs but in fact are really weblogs with just a few images and text coming directly from a mobile handset. The only real mob.logs of worth we have come across are Text America and Phone Bin
from the US and Europe respectively.
Text America in particular seems to be huge with thousands of post a day. Of course a major share of the content is "adult" related but then again a lot isn't. Tribes works very well with both these sites to help users hunt and gather their preffered type of "good" content from the maze of content in moblogs such as these.

The key tests to prove a site is a real moblog are:
1. Bad quality images
2. Lots of pictures taking self using mirrors etc.
3. Very little text in SMSspeak
4. Lots of adult images (Remember mobile content is ALWAYS more downmarket than fixed web!!!)
5. Good WAPsite version available

So came across Moblog
today but I am not convinced it is a true Moblog as I can't find a decent mobile browser friendly of the site. Yet. More on this later.
