In reply to 14-Gaboinked!, the pda mambot will detect an iphone/touch as a mobile device and apply the moble template by default. In reply to myself, simply removing "mobile" from the $pdas array in mambots/system/pdabot.php will allow the iphone to browse the normal site. My only other device to test is a windows mobile phone and that still shows the pda formatted version of the site. I'm not sure if any other devices are specifically identified only by "mobile" in the user agent string, so this might not be an ideal solution but it works for me so far.
