Hi i have just brought the HTC D HD and i was wondering if anyone know's how to view the normal websites and not mobile versions.

For example I search for youtube in google and it always brings up the mobile version, but i want the web version you get on laptops, can anyone help?

Thanks
 
A lot of websites have a link at the bottom somewhere that'l say something along the lines of "view full website".

Alternatively on most phones there's an option to stop your mobile appearing as a mobile device when you visit web pages.

Open Internet Browser, Hit Menu, More, Settings, Untick “Mobile View”
 
Some web pages have an option to switch between mobile/desktop view (like google.com). Mobile webpages usually have m.something.com URL so try deleting the m. part. It will most probably just return it automatically but you can give it a try.

I know that some browsers have an option to force mobile or standard view (like opera mobile on my n95)
 
Use Skyfire. Download it from the market. Theres a button on the web that allows you to view the website as if your viewing it on the computer. It works very well too.
