I hate mobile redirects. Mine is basically a small computer that is able to make phone calls, it has a genuine 800px wide screen, yet I'm frequently redirected to the bland mobile version.

Anyway, here's what I think:

1) You shouldn't REDIRECT to a different URL. What happens when someone on a mobile shares your URL on social media? Use the same consistent URL and deliver mobile or desktop content dynamically.

2) Offer some way to lock the choice to mobile or desktop, so that people with phones like mine, or who get misdetected as a mobile device, can choose to see the fully featured page.
