I would expect to see something like generic_opera_mobi, or the correct device. Can you paste your user-agent, or visit http://db.scientiamobile.com/h from your phone and fill out the form?
Thanks,

Please post the exact request and we will help you, but in general, installing and using Opera Mobile will give you a browser that hides device identity behind a UA string such as the following:

Opera/9.80 (Android 4.0.4; Linux; Opera Mobi/ADR-1207201819; U; en) Presto/2.10.254 Version/12.00

Nor is any other header provided to reveal a device make and model.

There is not a lot that you can do, except complaining with Opera (the company). Alternatively, you can let Opera user get a generic (and sub-optimal) experience. This will make users find Opera Mobile unattractive and convince Opera to pull themselves together and do things right for themselves and their users.

Thanks
