Is it possible to test a WAP site without using a mobile phone?

Question

I was wondering if it was possible to do this via a browser or an emulator.

When I try it from my browser I get "Unknown file type text/vnd.wap.wml"

Thanks

There is also an addon for Firefox, so you can use WAP from within your browser, quite handy.
