This 'ible's aimed more at standard and smart-ish phone users, iphones are all well and good but they're expensive and such, plus not everyone's adopted them or just plain doesn't like them.
Surprisingly it's come on a huge amount, both browsers and phone's data transfer capacities have improved massively, as has the price of bandwidth.

Signing UpStep 1: Connectivity.
How can your phone connect? This makes a big difference, for example if it has wifi and there's a free router in range, pick that first it's free, fastest option and also it seems to be a little less brutal on the battery life.
Next up you have the plethora of connections in the sky, edge, 3g, gprs, 3.5g and so on, check your phone's native settings, though it might be capable of better communication you might have to switch it on, set them to allow if available - unless the print in your data plan charges you extra, o2 don't but I can't vouch for others, so check first, just in case.
Some newer phones have other tricks, like streaming other devices like PS3s and stuff but honestly if you're at home use the computer or some such.
Basically depending on where you are set your phone up to prefer the fastest connection protocol available, this is simple enough, though if you have pay as you go or stipulations about the likes of 3g then weigh up cost vs. speed, unless it's 3.5g the difference isn't massively appreciable on mobile sites, which have been purposely slimmed down for your liking.

Hey! I have one of those towers next to my house! You can see it from the front porch. How much would it cost to put up a giant router or something that I can connect to from very far away? (I have no clue what I am talking about )

yeah i kinda wish it was in the news for people to catch on. The fact that it's so overlooked gives me less hope for 2d code.

No offence, but I don't thing he'd be offended if he saw it, because if he saw anything he'd must likely praise God and through a party!
