Line breaking is handled by phones and browsers differently. Many phones are
smart
enough to realise that long URLs are fairly common things and break them up
correctly.
There may be some CSS that fixes this for modern phones and browsers. I can't
remember why but this CSS is commented out in touch.php and might be worth a
shot:
body { word-wrap: break-word; text-overflow: ellipsis; }

alternate solution: theme the links so that only the domain name shows:
<a
href='http://google.com/gwt/n?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nba.com%2F2009%2Fnews%2Ffeature
s%2Fvince_thomas%2F12%2F22%2Fall.decade%2Findex.html%3Fls%3Diref%3Anbahpt1'
target='_blank'>[www.nba.com]</a>

We now use Twitter Entities to display a "display URL" which is shorter than
the expanded one

Any long words / URLs should automatically wrap since r400
Using http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-text/#break-word
