Android Receiving Desktop Sites
Using the latest Opera Mobile from the Android Market, downloaded today on my Droid X w/ Gingerbread.I checked useragent setting, and I should be receiving the mobile version of websites, but when I go to images.google.com and www.foxnews.com, both sites give me the full-size desktop browser experience.
Overall I like the browser a lot, and could easily use it for my primary internet app, but this sizing thing is a showstopper.
If you go to foxnews.com you should get redirected to .mobi, and that's not happening. If I go to .mobi manually it doesn't look nearly as good as with other browsers.
Images.google has a special UI for displaying selected images from the search results. Every other Android browser shows me this UI, except Opera, which behaves like a desktop.

To be honest I completely understand. I have no less than 4 browsers and no default set. I'm not terribly fanatical about much and swapping browers is, at most, two clicks and maybe a long press away. I'm fine with just swapping over and carrying on. Also, I don't really mind manually changing a few characters in the url or maybe refining my seach to get the mobile link.
I've played with setting, which are limited (something opera is very good at with the desktop version but sadly lacking in mobile, unless you wanna count proxy controls.), the fact is I simply can't make mobile read every page exactly right. Opera mini has had more success with some pages even. incidentally, for giggles I just typed foxnews.com in opera mini and it redirected to .mobi.
