I'm creating a file in ai and I want to make it the dimensions  of a mobile phone. 
any clue how to figure that out or has it been done before?
even if its close will be okay.
love Ai.

Draw a rectangle the same size as the artboard or use the Document Setup to simulate Color Paper. Illustrator artboards do not have a color, but are transparent (check View > Show Transparency Grid). White is there to simulate the white of the paper.

Here's another question, is there a way to make the entire  blank artboard a certain color?

Do you want that colour to export or just for display purposes?

Do I understand correctly that you need artbord with mobile size? If yes you can do that from New File button.
