That's one way to do it. Map user agent to handset make/model name, map
make/model to file. You could just add the UA to the CSV as a 3rd
column. You can get lists from the Japanese carrier sites.

Well, the company I work at has developed a platform that specializes in
what you are describing (not a one-man job ;)). Maybe you don't need to
go that far, and it sounds like your client has rolled their own solution
anyways. Since your client already makes keitai pages, is there any
reason you cannot ask them for guidance? If they are not aware of your
noobiness, you may be getting in over your head.
