I installed Dolphin HD. You can find a "desktop"-mode in it's settings.

what exactly is this desktop mode? Do you mean fullscreen? If so, webkit wont hide the taskbar, youll need a third party browser like dolphin or firefox.

the mode I nean is that the browser is not recognised as a mobile device but as a desktop pc, some sites redirekt you to mobile version and features are not available e.g. google calander

On my HTC, just click the menu button in the browser, then "More", then "Settings" and there you should see "Mobile view", just untick it.

Webkit will not allow you to choose user agent. Get dolphin he from the market, it does.

Mmm I don't think you know what you're talking about.

Dolphin is using Webkit, it's just the appearance that has been changed.
And you can do it with the stock browser just the way I explained it a few post above.

Oh please.

Why don't you try doing exactly as you've recommended above little buddy, starting with more, then settings, then whatever.
