Avoiding Mobile Webpages

Is there a way to set the BB browser on the Storm to go straight to the 'real' webpages for a site, as opposed to the 'mobile' webpages? What's the point of a full HTML browser if when I go to Yahoo! I get the very limited Yahoo! MobileWeb page? Any answers here?

Yes there is a way. I just learned this myself so thanks for bringing up the subject.

While in the BB Browser, press the blackberry key, select "options" and then "Browser configuration". Scroll down to the "browser identification" box and change the box from "Blackberry" to something else.

When I changed it to Firefox, yahoo loaded up normally without the mobile garbage.
