Responsive design, mobile-only pages or both?

[superclown2]

I've set up mobile pages under 20K for many of my sites with a redirect to them based on screen width. They do good business. I'm now considering a responsive design instead but although this will allow more flexibility it will probably mean that a high-ish bandwidth will be necessary for mobile phone users. So, I'm also considering both a responsive design down to a certain screen size, say 321px wide, and then dedicated mobile pages under that. What do others think? Am I being over-fussy?

Personally, I think RESS (REsponsive Web Design with Server-Side Components) is an entirely sensible approach to enhancing what you can do with client-side RWD alone.

So, no, not over-fussy at all.

But... my opinion isn't based on numbers, just on personal preference.

I'd be interested to hear what others think, too.

I second ronin, based on logic... smaller packages, less data to transfer = faster loading times = better conversions... look at these loading times here: [phonearena.com...] - that is not good... 30 seconds on the Galaxy S III ?
