'Twas this UA, from 64.233.166.136, almost like the one you saw:

Nokia3510i/1.0 (05.30) Profile/MIDP-1.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.0 (Google WAP Proxy/1.0)

(Saw that last Nov., too, again from 64.233.166.136; again no robots.txt.)

FWIW...

I'm also not wild about the following info excerpt, emphasis mine, but have yet to specifically opt-out, preferring instead to rewrite G's WAP-related UAs* until the jury's back on whether they routinely ask for, let alone heed robots.txt.

Remove transcoded pages [google.com]

Google Web Search on mobile phones allows users to search all the content in the Google index for desktop web browsers. Because this content isn't written specifically for mobile phones and devices and thus might not display properly, Google automatically translates (or "transcodes") these pages by analyzing the original HTML code and converting it to a mobile-ready format. To ensure that the highest quality and most useable web page is displayed on your mobile phone or device, Google may resize, adjust, or convert images, text formatting and/or certain aspects of web page functionality.

To prevent your web page(s) from being transcoded, please send a removal request to mobile-support@google.com.

Thoughts? About the WAPs? About the transcoding? (The latter makes G's caching look like a walk in the park, copyright-wise.)

"If it looks like a bot, and acts like a bot, and hits bot traps -- it's banned."

If you go to the newly added robots.txt tab in Google Sitemaps, at the very bottom there is a drop down list. Look inside that, and you'll see this:

User-agent: Googlebot-Mobile
Disallow: /

Alas, didn't matter:
