Try a search for UAProf and Wurfl. The latter is prolly simplest. It is
a centrally maintained file. Fetch the XML file at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/wurfl/files/ regularly - and preparse -
or use the sample code.
It basically contains somethng like
<device id="nokia_generic_series90_dp20" user_agent="Nokia 90
Developer Platform 2.0" fall_back="nokia_generic_series80_dp20">
<group id="product_info">
<capability name="nokia_series" value="90"/>
<capability name="nokia_edition" value="1"/>
</group>
Followed by a 100 odd bits of extra info: like:
<group id="display">
<capability name="max_image_width" value="120"/>
<capability name="resolution_width" value="128"/>
<capability name="resolution_height" value="120"/>
<capability name="max_image_height" value="128"/>
</group>
all the way to the downright obscure.
<group id="streaming">
<capability name="streaming_acodec_aac" value="lc"/>
</group>
<group id="deprecated">
<capability name="streaming_video_acodec_aac" value="true"/>
</group>
</device>
<device id="uptext_generic" user_agent="UP.Browser/4"
fall_back="generic">
<group id="wml_ui">
<capability name="icons_on_menu_items_support" value="true"/>
<capability name="opwv_wml_extensions_support" value="true"/>
<capability name="built_in_back_button_support" value="true"/>
<capability name="proportional_font" value="true"/>
<capability name="wizards_recommended" value="true"/>
<capability name="softkey_support" value="true"/>

(Who is now wondering if we should make this an even easier/'free-er'
service on PAL & Forge).

Maybe I've missed the point here, but:
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write(screen.width+'x'+screen.height);
</script>
Or is that not reliable?
