Rendering differences on different devices
I've been developing a mobile website in Opera Mobile 10.00 for Windows and tweaked the css so it displays exactly as intended. However in Opera Mobile 10.00 for Windows Mobile on an HTC Touch Diamond 2 running Windows Mobile 6.53 it renders differently.The page in question is www.textburst.com, it uses user agent sniffing to identify mobile browsers so will display differently on a desktop. Excuse the iPhone look and feel, it's what the boss wanted.
I've attached a couple of screenshots to show what I mean. windows.png is on a desktop, mobile.png is on my phone. It's as if the zoom is set wrongly on Windows Mobile.
On both browsers Opera Turbo is turned off, Opera Link is off, Load Images is on, Mobile View is off, Fullscreen is off and zoom is 100%.
Does anyone have any suggestions how to get both to render the same or is this an Opera bug?

If I disable the UA sniffing I get completely different content. The sniffing is checking for the Opera Mobile user agent and returning a cut down mobile version of the website. The HTML and CSS returned is identical for both the simulator and the mobile.
I get the same rendering differences on other mobile optimised websites such as m.foursquare.com. On the Windows simulator the page fits within the 480px screen width, on Windows Mobile the content is approximately twice the 480px width. Both are running at the same resolution (480x800 portrait) so I'd expect them to look pretty much the same.
