Is there a way of choosing the regular view for a mobile device? Windows Phone rendered the old home page very well, but now each story takes up a lot more space and it's no longer possible to take in a large number of stories without a lot of scrolling.

Completely agree on this! I went scrolling for a 'Desktop view' link at the top/bottom, or somewhere in my settings that would flip it back, but I'm unable to find it.

I actually relied on the desktop view on my iOS device when any of the other third-party HN mobile views weren't quite getting me what I needed.

Loss of this view (without having to rely on a third-party App Store app that allows overriding the UserAgent) is rather saddening.

Yea, I'm a big fan of pinch and zoom and the new format on WP8 is worse.
