Nice, we can leverage that in 2.0.

As seen on below list, there is no "unique" UA string it seems but see
http://developer.nokia.com/devices/device-specifications/nokia-lumia-635 
(Expand All)
this Nokia Developer reference quotes a (hopefully representative) example UA:
"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows Phone 8.1; ARM; Trident/7.0; Touch; rv:11.0; 
IEMobile/11.0; NOKIA; Lumia 635) like Gecko"


P.s.: As asked by an attendee of a recent conference, the chip architecture 
(like ARM) seems to be part of some UA strings now, too.

HTH,
Werner
