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.
