When I log from a mobile phone (BlackBerry in my case), the default  
"view" (as defined by force_view and select_view = false) is dimp,  
which is not appropriate (it renders badly). With I really want is that
when using a mobile device, the default/forced view is mimp. But only  
if the user access from a mobile device.

If I define "select_view" as true, then I have to choose the view in  
the login page, with the possibility of annoying users if they choose  
the view incorrectly.

The point is that I am obliged to define a view (by the variable  
"force_view") . I would like instead to have a default view for mobile  
devices and other default view for normal computers.

I think that this problem occurs because the variables select_view and  
force_view are coupled. Maybe the
way to solve this is to have two "force_view" variables, one for  
mobile and another for normal use.
Then, I could have, for example, "force_view_mobile" = mimp and  
"force_view" = dimp. The decision
of using one or another is then made by the detection routines (isMobile()).
