Our mobile users are reporting that they're being forced to use
MIMP.. when the users on iPhone, Blackberry and Treo would rather use
traditional IMP.   This is an even bigger problem as we didn't
install MIMP, so they're getting a "Log in into Mobile Mail" link
that doesn't do anything.
The latter is fixed.

In general I think we should still consider those browsers a mobiles. 
But we need a way for them to choose a different interface, especially 
now that we allow to choose the interface in mimp's login screen.

suggest that maybe you're thinking about this already.

   # * Browsers like Mobile Safari (iPhone, iPod Touch) are much more
   # * full featured than OpenWave style browsers. This makes it dicey
   # * in some cases to treat all "mobile" browsers the same way.
