AND one more thing....

why the HELL does opera 10 (and 9.7 in WM6.5.x) feel the need that it has to take over the entire screen even with full screen off? its a PITA having to hit the end key just to minimize the browser jus to see/answer a text when they coulda put a minimize option right next to the exit option. and don't even get me started about the RAM usage in opera 10.
Using opera9.5 standard on our TP2, I typed http://www.holamun2.com/ into the address field and that is exactly what the browser loaded, not a mobile redirect. I checked the userAgent field in opera:config and its value is 1.

I also dont find it inconvenient to simply minimize opera by pressing the end-call hardware button to get to my home screen, do whatever i have to do there, and get back to opera with task manager in upper right corner of home screen.

I found the following info online if it might help anyone...

Here is a list of userAgent spoofs in opera. Go to Spoof UserAgent ID in opera:config and select:

1: Identify as Opera
2: Identify as Firefox
3: Identify as Internet Explorer
4: Mask as Firefox
5: Mask as Internet Explorer
With option 4 and 5 (mask as), Opera is not mentioned at all in user-agent string, which ideal for users who want to completely hide Opera identify.
