The real "convergence" is all about bringing the plain old desktop design aesthetic to the smartphone. "Bad network connectivity" is a fiddly modem connection at 300 baud, compared to that what you get on smartphones is excellent. If one can browse HN, reply to comments and even do operations like voting/flagging comments on a smartphone, that's proof enough that "usability" is no obstacle.

The 300 baud modem because of the low speed and the smart phone LTE connection because the round trip time is highly variable and TCP backoff applies a heavy penalty. Additionally, most smart phone internet connections don't have ports or even an ipv4 and are behind Carrier-NAT. Given that, I'd prefer the 300 baud modem.
