Absolutely drop all but necessary fields for text entry for the mobile field.
The amount of people giving up with just one entry field is enormous, let alone two. Remember that mobile users are situated in other contexts where they will get distracted by the rest of life. :) A few questions to ask yourself... What does your site offer that requires signing in? Does that use case still exist in a mobile context? Can you simplify the service or offering? What is the profile of the person using the site? Text entry is okay on iPhones and Blackberries, but they represent a relatively small amount of users in the global market.
