Googlebot on smartphone classified as "phone" instead of "bot"

I'm seeing the following user agents being detected as "phone":

Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 8_3 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/8.0 Mobile/12F70 Safari/600.1.4 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)

Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 83 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/600.1.4 (KHTML like Gecko) Version/8.0 Mobile/12F70 Safari/600.1.4 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)

Seems to me they should be categorized as "bot" to be consistent with the fact bot-ness trumps device type for desktop. What do you think?

Seems to be an issue. I'll take a look

Moved the issue to the right repo. All the device detection features were refactored to a different module called device.

Closing this one.

Fixed on device package. Should use the v0.3.4 to include the fix.
