hey man i had this exact same problem a while ago. i did a write up about it here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...610789#1610789
the reason it does that is because your user agent is currently Internet Explorer Mobile so it automatically directs you to the mobile version of sites. what you want is for your browser to be recognized as a desktop browser so all you need to do is:
1. Enter "opera:config" into your Opera address bar
2. Scroll down to "User Prefs"
3. Scroll down to "Custom User-Agent"
4. Enter the following:
Opera 9.7 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)
5. Restart of Opera.
also, while you are at it, you might as well change you cache directory so that your cache save to you memory card instead of device memory... in the same "user prefs" menu, go to "cache directory4" and enter "Storage CardWindowsInternetOpera Cache". this will save you lots of device memory
dont forget to hit thanks

I followed these instructions and they've seemed to work for the most part, except for the one site that I visit most often (of course), ESPN.com
Before upgrading to Windows 6.5, I was able to view the desktop version of that site; now the mobile version is always forced. Puff, or anyone else who's made this change, would you mind loading that site to see if you experience the same thing. If Ive gotta deal with one site not loading its desktop version, so be it I guess....
Thanks again for the help. Ill be sure to hit thanks....
