\"OrkutIt looks like Google’s Orkut has pulled a Friendster<\/a> and is forcing Opera Mini users to the mobile version of the site<\/strong>. There’s nothing wrong with using browser detection to redirect mobile browsers to a mobile friendly site BUT there needs to be a way to get to the full version if desired<\/strong>. Many of today’s mobile browsers including Opera Mini and Mobile, some versions of Netfront and S60 Webkit are capable of loading almost any site on the web. Many users of these browsers prefer the full versions especially when the mobile edition offers only a subset of the site’s features as Orkut’s does.<\/p>\n

On the Opera Mini forum there’s been a lot of talk<\/a> about this issue and a search for a workaround. Opera Mini power user jbpseudo<\/a> has discovered a way to force Orkut to send the full version to any browser. Enter the following (all on one line):<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.google.com\/accounts\/ServiceLogin?service=orkut
\n&continue=http:\/\/www.orkut.com\/RedirLogin.aspx&passive=true<\/code><\/p>\n

Or if you are viewing this in a Opera Mini, click this Link<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

That’s a pretty ugly URL to have to type in. An alternative is to point Opera Mini at WapReview.mobi<\/a> and click on the link in this post or to use this tiny url: http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/6et9nr<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
