That's not at all what Robbiedeluxe said.

He said use OperaMini, and you can browse pretty much anywhere, just like you use your PC!

And he's right. I can even check in online on my standard (not smart) phone, with AA and UA! Using OperaMini. it's an awesome browser. ^

With OperaMini, you don't have to worry about finding the 'mobile' version of a site, 95% of the time.
I will give Opera Mini a shot... but if someone has a standard cell phone, what about their very small screen estate? I assume that some non-mobile sites will look quite strange, whether you use Opera Mini or not.
