The screen sizes are also getting fairly big and of good enough quality (240x320 pixels color LCD w/ 200K colors)
Imagine this: a VIP member of your site can view his favorite model in his cell phone, live, whenever she's on the webcam. He gets notified automatically and the cam window pops up. Even the ability to type in messages and chat with her.
How is that NOT going to sell?

I live in Europe and regularly use my phone for stuff like msn messenger, reading newspapers, etc. I am also convinced porn on mobile phones is doomed.
The reason that porn on mobile phones is doomed is exactly that technology will progress and will make it obsolete.
A miniature computer with broadband access is a much better, faster and cheaper way to surf porn than mobile phones could ever be. And, looking at current technology, those things are bound to become dominant forces in the near future.
Imagine this: a VIP member of your site gets a notification of a porn site on his mobile phone, while he's at work. Later, when he gets home and wants to have a good wank, he remembers the notification he got on his phone, and immediately puts his notebook with wireless broadband aside and gets his phone, so he can watch porn on a much smaller screen with a huge per-meg connection cost added to the already significant costs of the webcam show. He can even type in messages on an annoyingly tiny keyboard and chat with the girl so that what the actual porn he sees on his tiny screen is even less.
Now imagine this: a VIP member of your site has a notebook/pda hybrid with a nice big screen and wireless broadband for a flat monthly rate. When he wants to watch porn, he gets his notebook/pda hybrid and watches porn on a relatively large screen and with a fast connection that doesn't cost him an arm and a leg.
