Took me ages of tapping around before I hit a page that obtusely says "NAND needs a desktop" and then another ten seconds before I realized that was telling me I'm blocked on mobile.

If you're going to block mobile devices, make it upfront and obvious because 80% of people who land on your site will probably be on one.
