Well i still work in the mobile phone industry for a games company, while we are moving towards the higher handsets (iPhone and Andriod) we still support 300-400 handsets.
The department i work in is porting so trust me when i say support thousands to different devices/screen sizes/ quirks / jar limits / carrier specifications (especially vodafone always gives me a headache) So if you can avoid that route by going to a Publisher do so! they have the resources and the QA. unless your planning on getting this game on a couple of phones then the independent route would make more sense.
The four biggest are EA, Glu, Gameloft and I-play (in no particular order but EA are the biggest) So theyre maybe worth a try, I work for one of them and all of them would probably be interested in picking up a game they didnt have to do the development and they could pick up the rights cheap.
