It uses the identification string of Mobile Safari to determine you're on a mobile device.
If you scroll to the bottom of the page, there's a "Show Website" link, which takes you to...

This forces loading of the full website (I know, strange name for it). Bookmark that page and then just use your bookmark.

That's pretty common. The iPhone identifies itself as mobile and you are redirected to the mobile site. Scroll down to the bottom and select Show Website. That should get you to the main site. Usually there is a link to the full site.

On the same note, do you guys know how to get to a full site when they don't offer a link to it on the mobile site? That get's kinda annoying.
Sorry, but could you provide some links? All the mobile sites I've experienced so far provide a link to the full site.
I've had that problem, too. The only way I know of is to jailbreak and use UAFaker.
Let me try to find one ... It always seems to be while I'm no the run I happen across one, maybe I'm just not looking thoroughly. I'll see if I can find one.
i believe Hotmail is one. Although I use the mobile app, sometimes I've wanted to use the original, and I can't, IIRC.
The only way to keep from going to mobile sites is to jailbreak, AFAIK. I think it tricks the site into thinking you're a computer and not an iPhone.
There was another thread on app store browsers recently... do any app store browsers have user agent spoofing (like from the debug menu of Safari)? That should do the trick in a lot of cases.
