Not a bad effort, but I think the mobile (lite) verison could do with some work. All the following has been tried on an iPhone and hence that is the perspective of the comments:
1) The login screen, I had to zoom in to be able to click in them and type.
2) After logging in, the thread list was again too "zoomed out". I had to zoom in to be able to properly click on any thread, but then it was side-scroll city.
3) I have seen on many mobile sites the address bar being scrolled up and out of the way once the page is loaded. Looks a lot more professional.
4) Going into a thread, once again the text is too small. You need to zoom in, but then you have to scroll from side to side, as the text wrap is too wide on the screen.
5) Buttons or links like the Reply button should be made bigger to accommodate fingers.
6) And again, replying brings up boxes that are both too small (on initial zoom) and too large (once entered) to allow comfortable use.
But, saying all that, it is certainly a great start and a good idea. I'm sure there are many here that are CSS buffs that could make it even better.
Thanks,

The lite mode itself has been around for ages - it's just the convenient subdomain recently added.
We've got several iPhone users (and plenty of Android, WinMo, etc) and nobody has yet mentioned zooming as being necessary - are you sure you don't have your text size defaulted to small, or something?
Maybe a font-size preference (like the main UI has) could solve that in any case.
The zooming causing side-scrolls is an iPhone bug - at least on my Android mobile it wraps the text to the screen as you zoom - which is sensible behaviour for a mobile. With the above font pref, this issue would go away anyway.
For buttons, again could use font pref. The only issue I have with buttons is the radio buttons for html mode - it would be good if they could have labels added for easier use (I think this applies to non lite mode also; can't remember for sure).
Oh, and when posting a new thread, the Post button is at the bottom and half under the onscreen quick nav control thing... not explained very well, maybe if another Android user can see what I mean? (same problem with Apply button on edit page).
For point 3, I'm a bit confused - the address bar is part of the browser, not the page?
Unless there's some metatag that instructs mobile Safari to hide it, but that doesn't make sense.
Can you clarify what you're seeing/expecting for this?
