So, i suppose the question is, how do I get rid of the override? Can I just delete it??
Hello, I don't have item named "general.useragent.override" on my device, so I guess it should be ok to delete that. But if you want to be sure you can just write there the same as in "general.useragent.vendor", so "Firefox/3.5 Maemo Browser 1.7.4.8 RX-51 N900" will be overriden by "Firefox/3.5 Maemo Browser 1.7.4.8 RX-51 N900" and if any software depends on "general.useragent.override" (which i doubt but cannot 100% be sure) it will not break anything... So safest way is just to have the same value written in both I guess, shouldn't do any harm

And by your current value you can obviously see why your device is recognized as Nokia N97: "Mozilla/5.0 (SymbianOS/9.4; Series60/5.0 NokiaN97-1/12.0.024; Profile/MIDP-2.1 Configuration/CLDC-1.1; en-us) AppleWebKit/525 (KTHML, like Gecko) BrowserNG/7.1.12344"
