and also need to change the custom user agent from
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE; IEMobile 7.11) Sprint MP6950SP

to Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT)

Thanks, worked great for me, though I had to read the entire thread to figure out that the second item is under the User Prefs category. Funny that they tout how with Opera Mobile 9.5 you have the full web in your hands, then configure it to receive mobile versions of some sites.
