Themes » Mobile Themes
When a visitor browses to a WordPress.com blog on a mobile device we show special themes designed to work on small screens focussing on fast load times. The first theme is a modification of WPtouch and is displayed to phones with rich web browsers like the iPhone and Android phones. The second theme was developed from an old version of the WordPress Mobile Edition and will be displayed to all other mobile devices.
Mobile visitors greeted by WPtouch will get easy access to posts, pages, and archives. They’ll get fancy AJAX commenting and post loading. If you are using a custom header image, it will be scaled and displayed at the top of your blog. When viewing your blog on other phones, the focus will be on loading the blog quickly while displaying the important information about your content.
Disable Mobile Themes
If you would like to disable mobile themes on your blog, go to Appearance->Extras in the Dashboard and uncheck Display a mobile theme when this blog is viewed with a mobile browser. All visitors will see the full theme of your blog, but keep in mind this will prevent users on old cell phones from viewing your content.

Mobile visitors can switch to the full version of your blog using the links at the bottom of each page.

Custom CSS is not used with mobile themes.
