Mobilize Your Magento Store
In the Magento Admin area where you set your Design Package, you can also set an “Exception”. This will look for matched user agents and use the stated theme instead of the default theme. So you can set an “Exception” for smartphone customers.
Magento has a original mobile theme, defaul/iphone. We can set it as a mobile theme though it is rather unuseful.
1. Login to the admin area
2. Go to System > Configuration > General > Design -> Theme sections
3. Click ‘Add Exception’
4. Enter below text in matched expression
iPhone|iPod|BlackBerry|Palm|Googlebot-Mobile|Mobile|mobile|mobi|Windows Mobile|Safari Mobile|Android|Opera Mini
and in value enter ‘iphone’
5. Click Save Configuration
6. Use any smartphones or tablets, such as iPhone, iPod, Android, BlackBerry or Windows Phone test your work.
