What are the best mobile-friendly styles?

I did check the tags before posting this, but I didn't see anything. There are a lot of styles that look great on a computer, but condense the text/entry area to a narrow vertical column when read on a mobile device. Mobility seems to be the best one for mobile (obviously) but I kind of hate the way it looks on a computer. Does anyone know a decent theme which allows for some customization (like custom backgrounds) but looks decent and reads decently on a mobile device? Or is there something I can throw into the custom CSS section of the customize theme page to fix this? I'd love to use the 5 AM theme, but it kind of looks like crap on my phone. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I have switched back to Practicality. Thanks for your feedback, everyone.

With the caveat that I'm not a heavy mobile user AND I use site-skinned pages (Tropo Red) for my comment pages: I've been using Fluid Measure in Muted Seashore color scheme as my journal style for ages now, and it works decently well in mobile. I just read an entry today to my therapist from my phone, and it was a pleasant experience. Just thought I'd toss that one out there, but obviously YMMV if you are a heavy mobile user.

Understandable! I hope you find something that works for you.
