User Agent
Internet Explorer Mobile 9 on Windows Phone can be set to either "mobile view" or "desktop view". When in mobile view, the UA string of Windows Phone is given by:
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows Phone OS 7.5; Trident/5.0; IEMobile/9.0;
The UA string in desktop view looks almost similar to that of the Internet Explorer 9 running on Windows 7 with some additional identifiers.
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/5.0; XBLWP7; ZuneWP7)
Google and its sites are able to bypass the desktop mode setting on Windows Phone devices and redirect the user to either a mobile site or a less functional website. A browser incompatibility message may also even be displayed.

Famous quotes containing the words user and/or agent:
“A worker may be the hammer’s master, but the hammer still prevails. A tool knows exactly how it is meant to be handled, while the user of the tool can only have an approximate idea.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“The most durable thing in writing is style, and style is the most valuable investment a writer can make with his time. It pays off slowly, your agent will sneer at it, your publisher will misunderstand it, and it will take people you have never heard of to convince them by slow degrees that the writer who puts his individual mark on the way he writes will always pay off.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
