edit:

Found this, which works...
http://www.google.com/m?client=ms-op...f-8&oe=utf-8&q=

But that brings to mind another question, how to change the default browser from Opera to IE ?

Re: Change your internet search
 
Now is there a way to change all the bookmarks under the Browser Tab? I can change the bookmarks in IE itself but they still remain under the browser tab.

Answering my own question in case anyone else wants to know. lol... Delete Favorites under Opera and those will disappear from the Browser Tab. But for some reason when I try to add in new Bookmarks, my Swype/input program won't show up at the bottom so I can't put anything in. Does anyone have an idea as to why this is?

On mine, you have to click into the text field to get the keyboard to pop up.

Re: Change your internet search
 
This may be obvious to some of the more experienced users here but if you prefer to view your search results in a mobile version of google you can change the 'http://bing.co...' to 'http://wap.google.co...'. I actually prefer to view it this way rather than viewing the full webpage version and then have to use the zoom to read anything.

If there are other ways to do this I would be interested as this is the only way I got it to work.
