The best you can do in this case is maybe is REMOTE_ADDR or REMOTE_HOST, but then a lot of mobile devices would be connecting over NAT through a proxy, so you'd wind up with the IP/URL of the proxy.
Yup agreed. It's virtually impossible to track a bookmark as this is no referer so it looks exactly like a type-in.
