This will help to redirect all mobile devices to specific page. 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} (mobile|android|blackberry|brew|htc|j2me|lg|midp|mot|motorola|netfront|nokia|obigo|openweb|opera.mini|palm|psp|samsung|sanyo|sch|sonyericsson|symbian|symbos|teleca|up.browser|vodafone|wap|webos|windows.ce) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://ketan.lithiumfox.com/doku.php?do=search&id=htaccess [R=303,L]

Why 303 : The response to the request can be found under another URI using a GET method. When received in response to a PUT,
it should be assumed that the server has received the data and the redirect should be issued with a separate GET message.
