Description Hankwang 2011-07-11 16:24:17 UTC 
en.wikipedia.org will not automatically redirect to en.m.wikipedia.org when I browse using Opera Mobile; user agent: "Opera/9.80 (Android 2.3.3; Linux; Opera Mobi/ADR-blabla; U; en) Presto/2.7.81 Version/11.00)". 

As an alternative to eternally chasing the mobile browsers that don't clearly include "Mobile" in the User Agent, may I suggest that a cookie-based redirect is implemented? Right now, you can set a cookie to disable the mobile site for a particular device; it would be nice to be able force the opposite. Not only to deal with unknown user agents, but also convenient if you accidentally click 'permanently disable mobile wikipedia'.

WURFL (http://wurfl.sf.net/) is the alternative is being used in the mobile rewrite.
