My understanding is that churches who believe in the Nicene Creed don't consider Mormons as Christians. The Nicene Creed was defined by Councils in Nicaea (A.D. 325), Constantinople (A.D. 381), Ephesus (A.D. 431), and Chalcedon (A.D. 451).
The differences between the god defined by the Nicene Creed and the Mormon understanding were discussed by Mormon leaders in their October 2007 conference. You can read their teachings directly here (all links open in a new window):
The Only True God and Jesus Christ Whom He Hath Sent, by LDS Apostle Jeffrey R. Holland: HTML Text, MP3 Audio, or WMV Video.Other formats and languages and other LDS General Conference talks are available here.The Stone Cut Out of the Mountain, by LDS Church President Gordon B. Hinckley: HTML Text, MP3 Audio, or WMV Video.
There will be many who will share their opinions about LDS doctrine from a non-LDS (or anti-LDS) perspective. If you have questions about Mormon beliefs, Mormon.org offers the ability to research or ask a Mormon directly about their beliefs by email or anonymous online chat.
I've asked these questions a couple times on this thread, and non of the LDS freepers seem to want to answer, or otherwise find the questions offensive:
Does God have a father?
Are Christ and Satan brothers?
Was the Garden of Eden in Missouri?
