This is odd. I've got a 6700 and the same thing happened a few times today. It's back to normal now.

Hey everyone,
It has happened to me in Los Angeles - it thought I was in UK and Canada.

the reason Oprea Mini redirects you to Dutch/Norwegian pages is because it uses a server to process all webpages before it sends it the information to your phone and those servers are based in Norway.

This thread was about PIE, but you are right about Opera Mini.

I think Google uses an IP address to figure out where you are. somehow sprint is getting things bounced around. Ive had canada, spain, and germany pop up on the google home page. Its pretty wild, I usually just run some kind of local search and that seems to take care of it for a while.

I think everyone's phone is trying to tell them that they need a vacation.
