A few people might have intentionally used the mobile version because it loads faster for them or more readily presents the information they wanted. I'm not sure I can think of a site that I currently use that way, but I think I've seen people do it in the past.

mbasic.facebook.com has been suggested for this use by several HN users.

Wow, thank you! That's terrific - clean, simple design, and so far everything seems to work just fine without Javascript, too.

Very bad looking site and really unusable.

Interesting contrast in the two replies that suggestion elicited!
