Okay, so the original intention here was that IE users pointing their
browser to Nokia770 would get redirected to Touch, as Nokia770's css
bruises IE's fragile consciousness.

BUT, some versions of the Nokia Opera browser send out a user agent
string that spoofs as IE (this is a common Opera trick), therefore
redirecting people actually using a 770 or 800 to Touch, which is no
good.

My argument here, take it or leave it, is that the first priority of
the Nokia770 skin is to support the people using the Nokia, and a
widget to push IE users to Touch is second priority. 

Therefore, what do you think about backing out the user agent redirect
altogether? The problem I see arising is that even if we cover all the
current Nokia user agent strings, new versions of Opera on the Nokia
tablet may again change the user agent string to more closely resemble
IE, thus breaking this again.

cheers,
