You might try Opera (not Opera Mini).

You can do a registry hack to change the PIE user agent. That will prevent you from being redirected to mobile sites.

Regarding Opera Mini, it works well when it works. For me, it locks my device up periodically, so I don't use it. I've tried with IBM's J9 Java environment.

Opera for Smartphone 2003 will work, but it's not very good IMHO for a QVGA device--fonts are way too small. It's a memory hog too.

Thanks...that sound a bit advanced for me. To hack the registry is this easy? If I screw up, am I screwed?

How would you go about changing the registry? Is there a way to back up if it does not work?

Thanks

Here's a link that explains it pretty well. I would run a backup first if you've never done this--just to be safe. I use Sprite Backup.

Thanks...looked at it. I also saw the message by one person that tried, but did not work and has to find out how to get the registry back to orignal.

Unforutnately I am not a very technical person, although I love gadgets. Is there some service or store that I could go to in NYC that could do this for me. I would rather pay a little and have a professional do it..:) knowing my luck I wold mess it up if I tried it myself.

Sorry, don't know who, or if, someone would do that for you.

You could try Multiie 4.0 (http://www.southwaycorp.net/), it expands the functionality of PocketIE and allows you to change the browser info in the preferences to stop directing you to mobile sites. It also has lots of other great features, like changing the way you scroll through pages on the fly, and full-screen.

I didn't realize MultieIE supported Smartphone. Thanks.
