I use Opera Mini on my Inspire as my browser, and bookmarked FB and access it like that. It still doesn't render a full HTML version of FB, but it's a lot better than the pre-installed version.

You'll need to find a browser or something that allows you to change the User Agent I believe it's called. It's the setting/file that websites use to determine if you should get the mobile or full version.

Can you just click " desktop" at the bottom of the page? You can always dl skyfire browser from the market. That displays desktop versoions of pages

I downloaded DolphinHD was able to change the user agent, got my desktop version. Woot!
Addons make it the most extreme browser I've ever used. The free version is all I need. Epic Win!
Thanks SnyperX!:)

Glad it helped! I use Dolphin HD as my primary as well, though I play with Firefox betas to see if they have improved. The addons definitely make Dolphin worth it, I guess I haven't needed the user agent function otherwise I'd have mentioned that specifically lol

You can change the user agent on the stock browser (Google or search for about:config) however it's not as easy as it is with some other browsers and it doesn't retain the setting.
