Yes, it does.  I have a Nokia 3100, for example, that I test it on
from time to time.  Currently, it's just a little bit too big for that
phone, but not by much.

I do want to make sure it runs on those devices for as long as
possible, but it's a tricky balancing act, because if we spend too
much time looking at the lower end stuff, counting every byte, then we
run the risk of not being competitive on faster phones, with more
features, especially if faster technology trickles down quickly.  The
example being, if I recall correctly, Lotus worrying about supporting
some version of the x86 chip in the 80ies, when Moore's law was busy
obsoleting that hardware in any case.
