Can I retrieve color formulas with my regular "flip" phone?

No. The software used to present the color information in a format that is easy to view and migrate from screen to screen requires the mobile device to have an intelligent processor (CPU or central processor unit) or almost PC-like functionality. "Non-intelligent" cell phones do not have the computing power, pixel width, or general screen space to view the information in a simple, easy form.
