After reading a lot on trying to setup a mobile site I may have confused my self.
Can anyone help clarify?

I have a wordpress site. I want a mobile version and do not want to just chnage my theme and such. I want the benefits of being able to delivery different content on the mobile version versus main site version.

Now is this correct so far?
-I set up a sub domain such as m.mydomain.com under my main domain name
-I install wp in the subdomain folder and design my mobile site
-I use a plugin like wordpress mobile pack on main site to re-direct mobile visitors to mobile version or redirect using .htaccess

Is that it? Is this wrong way of doing it? Am I missing something or have it all wrong?

Thanks

Update:

I have everything installed. I got the m.domain name with wp setup to use as my mobile version.
All I need is wha is the best way to redirect users to the mobile versions. I only want handheld devices not tablets redirected. I tried a plugin but it was giving users a choice.

Best suggestion to redirect?

There is a plugin call WP Mobile Detect (have not tried myself) that does what you need but that may be what you tried already.

Thanks, but I think this plugin just allows you to control what is shown on the site to certain devices by using shortcode.

Looking to find one that detects certain mobile devices and them redirects them to a different url, my, m.domain.com.
With also the option for users to visit the normal site as well.

I tried one(wp mobile pack), and it worked except it was given mobile users the option to choose first what version(url) they wanted when on mobile rather than go straight through.
