OMG, yikes. Yesterday i was getting the desktop version. Now the mobile view rolleyes.
I will look for a workaround to get the desktop view back until they fix this issue. sherlock
EDIT: Consider changing the thread title. It isnt up to the point.

It's obviously something the Orkut people did. We'll look into it, though.

Guess you are right. Google might have tweaked it's servers to promote mobile version.

Just wait and watch. Our Opera mini team would certainly fix it. Have patience.

hmm my thoughts.. gotta first figure out what influences it, is it the browser or a server side script that detects a mobile OS and redirects?

For e.g. myspace.com with S60 browser redirects to http://m.myspace.com/offdeckverus/login.wap which is the mobile site but OM 4.1 can access myspace.com full site without redirecting.

I dont use Orkut so it doesn't really matter but for those who do, Orkut should at least post this change on their stupid blog. Facebook rocks!

Assuming that you are already logged in to the mobile Orkut, what exactly comes up when you type in the link i gave and hit enter?

Here's a slightly shorter URL that forces the non-mobile version of Orkut:

https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=orkut&continue=http://www.orkut.com/RedirLogin.aspx&passive=true

It seems to work whether you are already logged into your Google account or not. If you're not logged in it prompts you for user id and password of course.

1. log out of orkut. 2. Synchronise ur operamini. 3. Click on link for google italian page. Find orkut. Add Bookmark or save on speed dial. 4. U can see desktop version of orkut. Enter username & password. If u log out u will be directed to mobile version page. Dont mind. Each time u click that saved bookmark or speed dial u will see desktop version. Or Better never logout of orkut and each time u click bookmark or speed dial, U can see ur orkut profile directly.

Here is a brand new workaround, should work for all domains.

1. Go to THIS address.
2. Login with your ID and password.
3. You must now be at the desktop version of your orkut home page p
4. Bookmark the main page.
5. The best part of this trick is that even if you decide to log out and then go to orkut.com, it takes you to the desktop version yes.

Hope it works until the OM developers include a feature to change the user agent of OM to Opera Desktop or something else!!! whistle
