Comment:

 [attachment:24252.2.diff] is just Ipstenu's patch updated with correct
 path for src.

 The reason Windows Phone isn't currently included in `is_mobile()` is due
 to odd behaviour in the admin area in Windows Phone 7 when it was treated
 as a mobile device (some discussion on #20614).

 Here's a list of things that'll need to be tested in the admin area using
 Windows Phone 7 and 8 in order to get this patch in:

  * Viewport width on the login screen and general admin screens
  * Access to controls in the admin area which only appear on hover for
 desktop devices, for example the action links on post listing screens (and
 Comments screen, Users screen, etc)
  * Using the rich editor (TinyMCE)
  * Adding and reordering items on the Widgets screen and the Menus screen

 Hands up who has access to a Windows Phone device they can try this with?
 (With the patch applied of course.)
