Where do you get terminal capability information?

As mobile networks, terminals and browsers improve, creating browser based solutions becomes more interesting. When you start developing services for mobile browsers it won't take long before you need detailed information about the terminal's capabilities to create the most usable pages.
As far as I know, there is at least three major sources for that information:
- UAProf data
- WURFL database
- DeviceAtlas from dotMobi
Some questions: what is your datasource when you need information about device properties? Are there true quality differences between datasources (sources seem to be referencing each other: WURFL uses UAProf and DeviceAtlas uses WURFL etc.)? What about provided API's, are there notable differences? Something else developers should know about this issue - your experiences are very welcome.
