I've noticed since the new update that when I access a bookmarked site, it now takes me to a mobile site.  I delete the bookmark, clear cache, cookies, history and enter the web address again.  I keep getting directed to the mobile site.  I've changed the URL when bookmarking the site but that doesn't help either.  Accesing regular websites worked fine prior to the update.  Anyone else having an issue with this?

I had this issue before the update with certain sites.  I imagine it is because now the sites are actually recognizing the phone as a mobile phone.  Sometimes you can type in the full address (including the http://www) and get it to go to the full site.  Unfortunately, I think it is more an issue of how the site is coded, rather than the PRE.  I still cant get the full version of nfl.com no matter how much I have tried, and that has been since day one.

The site I use a lot is yellowpages.com.  I have used it since I got my Pre back in June and had the regular website bookmarked.  When I pulled up the site on my phone, the regular site showed.  Now I can only get the mobile version.  I had tried to change the bookmark address to the full web address a couple times, but it still directs to the mobile site.  I don't like mobile sites much.  I like to see the regular webpage.  I have a couple other sites that are doing the same thing since the update that I did not have a problem with before.  Arrrrghhh!

The iPhone user agent is supposed to fix this, however, the version of the tweak in webosquickinstall 2.72 does not work with 1.2.1.  Hopefully they will fix it soon.  Thanks for bringing this up, made me do some research as to how to fix the problem for myself!
