"You can download the firefox plugin User Agent Switcher. This will allow you to spoof any user agent you please. You can choose a user agent from this page. If you wanted to appear to be using an iPhone, you could enter something like this:

Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac
OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML,
like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/1A543a
Safari/419.3"

"Absolutely, if you turn the develop menu on in safari you can set the user agent string to Mobile safari 3.0 and Volia you are pretending you are an iPhone.

Another way is to use the windows CE Emulator that comes with visual studio and use mobile IE."
