User Agent

I've used iPhoneEsque to change my browsers User Agent so that it pretends to be an iPhone and lets me use BBC iPlayer. All well and good, but some sites don't work very well for iPlayer and I have to uninstall iPhoneEsque, reboot, reload the page and then reverse the process if I want iPlayer back.

The question I have is...Does anyone know where the User Agent string is stored. I've searched on Google and found that older S60 devices had it in a text file, but this file doesn't exist on an N95.

What I'd really like is a User Agent switching app or any way to simplify the switching back and forth process.
