Is there a way to change the default browser in sense from Opera to Internet Explorer? My old Omnia used Explorer and I feel more comfortable using it.

I'm looking for a mobile browser for my 8525 that acts like a full browser.... I want the ability to visit websites that are typically blocked or inaccessible because I'm on a mobile browser.
Essentially, I looking for something to trick websites into thinking I'm on a full PC and not a phone.
Does this exist?
any tips?
enjoy...here's a detailed review of most ppc browsers:

Opera Mobile.Runs all the SSL seamlessly.Worth every cent.
OPera Mobile
I've been running Opera for 6 months and it has outperformed everything else that I've tried. Well worth the $29 I paid. Opera has a setting that allows you to identify yourself as a desktop to websites. Works like a charm.
If you like Pocket IE then change the registrys to see it like a desktop. This is a link to the registry changes you will need to make.
http://www.pocketpctweaks.com/pocketpc_tweaks/change_pocket_internet_explorer_6
This will let your pocket internet explorer look like a normal desktop Internet Explorer 6.0
This can help you access sites that require a certain internet explorer version.
1) Open a registry editor
2) Go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent\
3) Change the default value to "Mozilla/4.0".
4) Change the "Version" value to "MSIE 6.0".
5) Change the "Platform" value to "Windows NT 5.0".
6) Soft-reset.
thnx, helpful
I'm personally a fan of the Opera Browser.
I've used it for quite a while now and am very happy with it.
I would say it is your best bet.
I am using a software which provides me information in the forms of texts and figures. Everytime when I opened figures on my HD, Opera activated itself and took over the role of viewing figures. Subsequently, all the informations including texts and figures must be viewed by the Opera, and crashes frequently occured. I wonder if Opera could be inactivated so to prevent this problem.
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
Can anyone help?
I think your problem is that Opera is declared to be the standard browser. Maybe changing this would help. As far as I know this is done by changing some registry keys.
Is it possible to change the link in Touchflo 3D on my blackstone from opera to another browser ?
I dream to click on the Internet'tab, and when I tap on Earth's picture :NetFront run instead of Opera.
I couldn't find a way to change the default browser. Does anybody know how to do it?
I remember having to do this on one of my older PDAs. I believe the instructions that I followed were roughly similar to the ones found at this link.
Note that this is actually for Windows Mobile 5, but there's a good chance they will still work. Just make sure you note down all of your original settings before you change anything. And, as always, try at your own risk.

i had the same problem. i was using uptodate medical program. the software is designed to be used with PIE. so what i did was google the regedit. there are a lot of regs to be editted to change from opera to PIE. basically what u could do is open regedit on a pda without opera browser. just change the main .html, .htts etc to pie. hope this helps for a start. but if you still have problem. post a reply and i'll give full regedit amendments. thanks
please e_cam23, i am also a fellow uptodate user and i have the same problem.. using uptodate on the blackstone is a painful experience for me :'( sometimes it works and sometimes opera opens and then crashes and takes me back to the previous uptodate page pleeeeeease help me out i am trying to make IE the default bs i couldn't on my own..
UpToDate
In the latest version(16.3) of UptoDate, crashes occur far less frequently. Try it out and you will feel relieved!
I am not sure where to get it from i got it from a friend on a dvd..
forgot to say that all the method i found for touch pro and diamond and kaiser did not work on my hd.. editing registry values in RAI under shell to iexplore and Pocket ie,, also a file by darkness which tells me unsuccessful installment when i run it :S
In new opera (official release), there is an option default browser inactivation.
It may help you, freinds
change default browser on Touch HD

Sorry
All,
from my understanding Opera is 'hardcoded' in TF3D, changes in the registry will not have the effect you want. From my knowledge there are two ways to overcome this.
1. use SSMaPa to patch another default browser into Manila.exe (works also for some other applications)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407777
2. use VJBrisk to route the program launch of Opera to your preferred browser

I hope this helps

install new version of opera doesnt mater wether on the device memory or the storage card but i did it on the storage and then uninstall it you'll end up with explorer being the default browser for everything and this is the only way that worked for me
It may help

"Better"? In what way? Opera Mobile works "better" as a fully fledged browser, but it is slow.
Opera mini is fantastic for what it does. It's very quick compared to Opera Mobile thanks to data compression. Whether it's through GPRS, HSDPA or even wireless Mini is "better" in terms of speed of download and display when viewing webpages.
I'm trying to think of a way to word this without sounding rude; Please don't post if all you're going to do is tell someone not to use the application they have chosen to use, rather than provide an answer to the question.
He probably has his reasons for using Mini, and you your reasons for using Mobile. But that's simply not the question he asked.
I would say those browsers compliment each other.
OperaMobile great for full desktop experience plus flash, but also sucks data as hell and battery too. Pitty it crashes often since it's - still - beta.
OperaMini works in almost every condition. Does not have many OperaMobile features but is great for everyday usage.

thanks guy for the helps, the reason i asked because i am using X1A updated with new software and the opera mobile does not works on some websites, i am still looking for the opera mini cab ,does any know please share
there is no opera mini cab. you will have to download the program from the opera site. the files or jad and jar. i believe you need like a seperate program to install this if you down load the jad and jar files.

I will have to repeat my post, some of you might have missed it.
There is a cab which installs opera mini and gets rid of that connection message.
Try the first link, open the zip file and install the cab file on your phone.
Good luck
I want to use Opera Mobile, but I can't figure a way to sync my desktop bookmarks with this version. Therefore, I'm stuck with Opera Mini. Has anyone found a way to do bookmark sync on Opera Mobile?
Thanks.

Hello there HD mini users!
I opened this thread cause I thing a lot of you might have the same problem with me using weather watcher.
By default if you install WW (weather watcher) in your brand new HD mini it won't gonna work because it opens opera mobile inside WW and you cannot do anything.
I tried a lot of things to fix this issue (net frameworks 3.5 installation, registry tweaks, and a bunch of solution that could come to my mind.)
But the solution was soooooo easy that you can not even thing about it!
By default HD Mini uses opera mobile to open html files. And a lot of user don't even open explorer because opera is much faster and handy than explorer.
But if you just open explorer once, and reply yes to the question use IE as your default browser, weather watcher works like a charm!
Such an easy solution for so big trouble...
Another solution that gives points to HD mini!
Thank you for reading this!
i'll try this on my HD2
thanks
unfortunately it didnt work on my HD2
Hello,
is there a simple way to replace Internet Explorer with Opera Mobile in a already cooked ROM? I mean by that: completely remove the MS IE and replace it with Opera Mobile as default internet browser. If it's possible, can somebody explain me what do I need to do it myself and how to do it? I would also like to replace some other apps, like Excel, etc...
Thanks in advance for every answer!

You cannot remove IE from WM. It's an integral part of the OS, as it with windows XP (in general). I suggest you just disable it and make Opera the default browser. Easy enough to do...

NRG28 is totally right. It's integrated even much deeper than one in XP. Try to open any UI resource file with Restorator for example - all the buttons like OK, Cancel and so on are in htm format in all dlls and muis. As soon as you delete IE - you will totally loose User Interface.
So it's impossible not only to handle with already cooked rom but also there is no way to cook such kind of rom.
