Code:

Public Function IsMobile() As Boolean
Dim userAgent As String = httpContext.Current.Request.UserAgent.ToLower
Dim result As Boolean = False
If userAgent.Contains("iphone") Or _
userAgent.Contains("ppc") Or _
userAgent.Contains("windows ce") Or _
userAgent.Contains("blackberry") Or _
userAgent.Contains("opera mini") Or _
userAgent.Contains("mobile") Or _

Where I am unsure is whether I should actually put in iphone? is there a point where the mobile is actually good enough not to be cut down?

but thats 30p the whole day, not per minute - because when WAP was first out I seem to remember it was something like �3/min

Testing from my Nokia, much better in terms of speed, I see a text list of forums, with description. Missing the latest posts tho. Will this actually post, there stands the test for me. Ixy, many providers offer that illusive 'unlimited' internet, some as little as #5pm, they all differ in cost and t&c's. There is a thread on here about it somewhere. Hope this posts after all that typing!

It's always worked just fine on my Crackberry, now it's less green. I'd say no change was needed for Crackberries or iPhones.

I'd differ strongly using a Blackberry 8310. It was pretty unusable. But as you can see I have wondered about this question
