BBC News website

There's a couple of tricks that you need to do to access the BBC News desktop version on the E90.

1. You need to go to the BBC Home website (www.bbc.co.uk). The E90 will redirect you to a mobile version of this site as well BUT you can go to the options link to display this site as a desktop version. Once this is done, just save that particular page as your bookmark

2. From this site, you can click on the news site. If you clik on BBC News link however, the E90 will redirect you to the mobile version. What you need to do is to click on any News link (i.e. Bombing in Iraq kills 20 people etc etc) and the news will open in the desktop version, from this "news" you can access all the news site in the desktop version (just don't click on BBC News main link)

It's one of my main annoyance with the E90, in order to standardize the S60 OS, they dumbed down the E90 which is plain stupid by Nokia. The E61 web browser is wayyyyyyyyyy more flexible than the E90's version. In fact they should have ported the E61 browser instead of the current one.

id like to know this as well. I cant seem to figure it out either :con?

Please have a look at these screenshots: (hope it works)

This is how I was using it, but even this doesn't work now.

I do use Opera Mini 4.1 and its really good - BUT it can't play the videos on the news pages, which the built in web browser does very well with the latest firmware.

The only way I seem to be able to get the BBC News desktop version on E90 is to click on a story link from Google News pages.

Add a bookmark to:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk

Need to email the BBC website people as the link to the desktop version in preference (as shown by the post above) will give you a 404 error (link not found). BBC must have changed the link when the upgraded the entire BBC website.

maybe you could try YaPN: HTTP Proxy to Change Nokia S60 Browser User Agent & WAP Profile

there seems to be a hack outside, wich will change the user-agent to the iPhone user agent: http://www.mobilecastle.biz/mobiles/symbian-os-9-1-9-2-applications/48943-5-5-08-hack-change-your-phone-identity-s60-browser-goes-iphone-unsigned.html
