The hack was only needed to automatically enable and offer smart  
mobile mode for Windows Phone 7 users. Now the smart mobile mode is  
automatically only offered to webkit based browsers.

Most likely not. Only really needed feature was the javascript support  
in order to be able to use horde with Opera Mini browser.

Nokia use of user-agents are bit confusing and it is really hard to  
find what browser is webkit based. So maybe not all of those phones  
have webkit based browsers.

Nokia itself recommends this:
((?Nokia? || ?SymbianOS?) && ?WebKit?) || (?N900? || ?Maemo Browser?)  
|| (?MeeGo? && ?NokiaN9?)

Taken from:

Should I make a new patch based on Nokia recommendations?
