Some time ago we had a requirement for a CMS for use in an intranet at work. We evaluated several and settled on using drupal. When you dig deep, drupal comes ahead of all the other free CMS offerings.
I think that through a Drupal theme it's possible to create a new feature rich site, yet still classic browser compatible. These two themes are proof to this concept, aimed at mobile phone limited browsers:

Just my 2cents.
Cheers!
