One of the websites I work on (built in drupal) has a mobile site that works great on all mobile platforms except blackberry. Blackberry simply doesn't pick up the redirect file which makes it display the mobile site (I'm assuming it's this). So here are the details.
Site: http://www.evanspartners.co.uk
Mobile: http://www.evanspartners.co.uk/mobile
Here is my redirect file Titled "pw_mobile_redirect.info" :

Now I'm assuming the problem lies in the following section of the script above:

I've tried using an updated version but no luck, Blackberry still displays desktop website.
Can anyone see why this is happening and why the blackberry platform won't redirect?
