PasswordMaker isn't a password vault, but rather a password generator. 
It generates a unique password for every site, based on a master 
password.  I've been using it for quite a while now, and like it a lot.

It can run either as a plugin to Firefox, or as a Javascript-embedded 
HTML page.  So in theory, if your smartphone can handle JavaScript/HTML, 
it sounds like PasswordMaker might satisfy your requirements.

HTH,
