      Good morning from 2 degrees C mostly cloudy wetherby UK,

      Image this situation...

      Ive got two versions of a website: A desktop version & a mobile version, here are their respective urls:

      Desk top: http://www.innoviafilms.com

      Mobile:   http://www.innoviafilms.com/m/home.aspx

      With blackberry bold in hand I type in via google search "Innovia films" i click on the search snippet and it renders

      the desktop version.

      But when i type the url directly in my Blackberry bold 9700 it returns the mobile version 😞

      This confuses me. Having read this: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2011/02/making-websites-mobile-

      friendly.html I thought the desktop version would render in smartphones which the balckberry bold is. So my question

      is...

      "Why does the the mobile version only appear when you type in www.innoviafilms.com on a blackberry (and iphone 4) and

      the desktop version appears only when you enter "Innovia films" via google search"

      Any insights welcome 🙂

        Well it does the same thing on Android. I'd have to point to a software flaw somewhere not detecting the user agent correctly and feeding up the wrong version.

        Have you considered using a subdomain (like m.innoviafilms.com)?

        • I have a site that has both http:// and https:// versions indexed, e.g. https://www.homepage.com/ and http://www.homepage.com/. How do I de-index the https// versions without losing the link juice that is going to the https://homepage.com/ pages?
