I use ATT Tilt. How can I change Opera Mini 4 User Agent ID/String so I can view sites like yahoo like on my computer. The User Agent ID tells websites that I am using a pda so the sites automatically send their mobile versions instead of the real thing.
Thanks

You can't. I've posted a lot on this issue in the official Opera Mini forum; check out my posts.

Thanks for the reply but I found a solution after a few minutes of searching. I remembered using anonymous proxy surfing a few years ago. Right now, there are tons of them. Some free and some paid anon surfing sites. This one is free and hides the user agent string: http://www.guardster.com/subscription/proxy_free.php
Yahoo, gamespot, and others work great now with opera mini 4. Guardster anon doesn't get in the way too much since its a small strip on top of the page. load times are fast. one thing to remember though, you will get proxy error if you leave spaces after the url.
Bye.
try to type :
opera:config
in the URL field...
I know it work on Opera 8 and 9... but i don't know on the JAVA version...
