When attempting to disable the mobile site from my Windows Mobile phone (HTC Wizard running WM5, build 14847.2.0.0, OS 5.1.195), the links on the page I'm taken to in order to permanently disable the mobile site are not clickable. I have checked 24100 and 26797, neither of these I can see duplicate this bug. As a workaround from awjr in #wikipedia-mobile, users can go to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/mobileRedirect.php?expires_in_days=365 to manually set the cookie for 1 year, or change the expires_in_days to 3650 (or 3652 to be pedantic) to set the cookie for 10 years.
Thor, we've recently pushed out new designs for the mobile interface and I'm curious if you are still experiencing the problem you mentioned in this bug. I have not been able to track down a WM5 phone to test this on, so your input is greatly appreciated. Also, since this bug appears to be affecting very few users, I downgraded the importance from 'major' to 'minor'.
Out of interest where does the disable mobile site link appear and does it require javascript to function? If so then this will be why it is broken - Windows Mobile 5 is not getting javascript as it is based on IE6 which receives... or should receive (see bug 36935) the basic desktop site [1].

BUMP
Guessing this is not a problem any more. Please reopen if it is!
