Question Browse like a desktop

How can I browse websites without them taking me to the mobile versions? (Example, Google calendar) The diamond has a great enough resolution where I don't think it needs these gimped versions of the websites.

Re: Browse like a desktop

As for Skyfire, it doesn't work as far as I know. I haven't tried to get my beta code sent to the Diamond though.

But I'm glad that there's an option for full sites instead of mobile ones. The layout of ESPN and CNN are much better in full versions than the mobile ones.

Re: Browse like a desktop

ok...i got my diamond to browse like a desktop by changing the User Agent to 3 and Custom-User Agent to SAMSUNG-SGH-i900/1.0 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en) Opera 9.5. the Custom-User Agent string is from my Orbit 2. my initial perception is that rendering is somewhat slower. below is pic of the msnbc.com website on the diamond before zooming in. below the picture is the content of my opera.ini file (which is where changes are stored). (if you try this, be sure to BACKUP your opera.ini file first!!). i'll continue testing to see if this works with other websites.

The setting doesn't work. I had to go to other vesions of espn and cnn and back my way into the full site. It always defaults to the mobile version if you check or uncheck the box in opera...
