Go to "about:debug" in the URL bar, then "Go" (on your keyboard).
Menu key --> "More" --> Settings. Look for the "UAString" option.
Change the useragent to suit.

If "about:debug" doesn't work for you, try "about:useragent"

To see what you device identifies itself as go here:-

(But don't fill in the guestbook)
and read the userAgent line. I suspect it's the bit between the
brackets, after the "compatible" bit that you need.

eg. "MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1" might give you full screen
non-con-formant HTML ;-p
