Any Nokia handset will use a proportionally-spaced font by default.  I can't
remember whether they have a fixed-width option.

The Ericsson A1018S also uses proportionally-spaced fonts.

I know that Siemens phones, particularly the C35i and the S25 have a fixed-width
font by default.  Also, the Motorola V.3690 has a fixed-width font.

But Nokia and Ericsson are the most popular brands of GSM phones at the moment.
