Don’t send them to two different template files, it will just mess up the links generated by GetSimple. If your check is in PHP your actual theme files can do all rerouteing for you and every page will automatically adapt to the visitor without having to send him to a different URL.
It will work something like this:
User 1 goes to http://example.com/a-page. GetSimple checks the back-end to see what content to display, then it goes on to call the template file. Your template file checks that User 1 is using a certain screen and serves him a template with a width of 1000px. User 1 now wants to share this page with User 2 and copies the URL.
User 2 visits http://example.com/a-page after receiving it from User 1. GetSimple checks the back-end to see what content to display, then it goes on to call the template file. Your template file checks for a certain screen again and sees User 2 is using an old one, now the template file will serve a template with a width of 600px. User 2 is just as happy as User 1 and has access to the same content.
The above scenario is very possible, I’ve done some work exactly like this with the iPhone theme. The thing there was to serve a special iPhone template to browsers identifying themselves as Mobile Safari on the iPhone.
