Can't remember how I force the 9500 Web application from telling (for example) www.bbc.co.uk that I want to load the Mobile Version of their website. Or is it the host that's forcing this? I want to load the ordinary version! I'm sure I should know the answer but can't work it out.
Sorry if this is a FAQ but I did do a search and couldn't find an answer.

I think that depends from the way that the site was writen!
Thanks for this comment. When I surf into this site with the E61 it goes straight to the full version and I wonder why it doesn't happen with the 9500. I'm sure you're right but surely the built-in (Opera) browser shouldn't exclude those who wish to go to the full version?

The browser isn't making the decision, but the web site designer, if they've chosen to do so. Usually done by looking at the HTTP user-agent header field that a browser always sends for every HTTP request to a web server.

So there's no way round this then?
I believe no.
You can set preferences in google search as HTML instead of PDA, and then search for the sites, you will get HTML pages links.
Nice try but this doesn't work. Still taking www.bbc.co.uk as the sample, if you set Google preferences to HTML the site seems to ignore this and takes you to the PDA page anyway. If you go to the Settings in Web and disable Automatic Redirection and try again, you get a page which says Found - The document has moved here with the word 'here' hyperlinked to the PDA version anyway.
