Generally I find that reading is OK but writing posts is tricky -- mostly 
because it's a PITA to select and cut quoted text using a small touchscreen device.

The main usability issue I encounter browsing on a phone screen is to do with 
jumping forward/back in a thread.  Things would be much nicer if 
first/previous/next/last thread page links were available at the top as well as 
bottom of thread pages.  It's annoying having to scroll down all the way to find 
them, particularly if there are a lot of long posts.

These problems reinforce each other a bit, because commenting via a touch device 
makes one more likely to quote all of the previous post, which makes posts more 
likely to be long, which means one has to scroll far more to navigate a thread, 
which means it takes more time and so one is less likely to be patient and cut 
unnecessary quoted text, which means ... etc.
