I am using MSN as my homepage, but opera would not allow that. It always take me to MSN Mobile instead of the normal MSN page. Anyone know how to prevent this for happening?
Thank,
Strange... I just set my homepage to "http://www . msn . com" and it does not take me to the mobile site when I start up Opera. Settings --> Start page --> User defined... What version of Opera are you using? I tried this with 9.7.
Opera 9.7 takes you to MSN.com, but Opera 10 beta goes to MSN mobile.
This is my experience with Opera.
I uninstalled Opera 10 and went back to 9.7

Yes, I have Opera version 9.7, but it still go to MSN Mobile instead of MSN site.
See if your opera settings are mobile or desk top, that makes a big diffrence

There is no setting for that in version 9.7 or any other version of Opera mobile, or is there? If there was, how are you able to change it?
set a custom user agent. msn is reading the opera user agent and (correctly) figuring its a mobile.
look up setting a custom useragent and set it to something like firefoxes user agent. (There are websites that list user agents)
Make sure you set the homepage when its on the desktop version and not the mobile version. Go to the website and access the desktop version then set the home page.

I am wondering if there is a way to configure my cingular 8125 to go to the real web site and not the wap version. it does this for espn, yahoo, cbssportsline and others. i would prefer to browse the real net.
I believe this is a function of the websites checking your browser version and returning content they deem appropriate.
Check by installing another browser on your device, perhaps one that is not widely used, and try loading those same web pages.
there is a registry tweak for PIE that makes websites think its a regular desktop browser. i did it before on my ipaq. i don't know it right now, sorry.
Other than that if you want a better browser and you want to view regular html websites get the OPERA browser. I use it all the time. Its like Firefox but mobile.
i have tryed to download the opera browser but something isnt working right. can someone help with that

Hi,
Need some help please? I have reset my Opera 9.5 back to default using about:config - install after un-installing anther application to set the browser as the default again. The problem now is that when going to certain pages it shows the mobile view rather than the normal web view the main one being BBC showing as bbc mobile. Even if I type in the BBC address it automatically goes to the mobile view. I have checked in the settings and the mobile view is unchecked
Any ideas please?
Thanks in advance
Does anyone know if there is a setting for Opera 9.5 to force web pages to load or browse as a desktop display? Internet Explorer has a setting that allows you to browse as either a desktop or mobile device.
On Opera, even with "Display - Mobile view" unchecked, some sites, notably CNN and FOX news, automatically redirect to their mobile website. Is there another setting I'm missing or is my Opera not functioning correctly.?
***Figured it out: A speed tweaking cab I installed had a default string in the Custom User Agent that allowed these sites to detect it as a mobile device and redirect. Could not change the string (would automatically default) so I'll probably have to remove the cab.
I need to kno if there's a way too. this has been annoying la mierda out of me
Is there any way i can import all my pc bookmarks from firefox into opera?
and that's why I went back to 9.7!
neverdid find away to do it,

Well...I did it the LOOONGGGG way.
1.) Install OPERA 10 on your desktop (yes, the desktop version).
2.) Import your bookmarks from FIREFOX to OPERA.
3.) Sign up to OPERA LINK on your desktop OPERA 10.
4.) Once you've installed Opera Mobile 10 on your phone, enable OPERA LINK in Settings.
5.) You will be prompted to sign in.
6.) Sign in and the bookmarks which you've transferred from Firefox to OPERA 10 DESKTOP should be synchronised onto your Opera Mobile 10 Bookmarks.
Hope it helps.
I dont know about bookmarks but Opera 10 is rapid. Makes me want to surf the web more on my hd2 now than ever.
