Hey cblogs, I just got an iPhone and I was wondering if there was a way to view the
destructoid homepage in safari without the mobile version coming up. I frequented the mobile
site on my old phone, but the non-mobile site would work fine on this phone... Any idears?

This isn't going to fix it, but basically, it knows what browser you're using and that's why it loads the mobile version of the site.

This should tell you what version of safari it "thinks" it is. I would wager, that unless you jailbreak your iphone there isn't going to be much you can change about this.

The reason for the redirect though, might have more to do with the fact that the iPhone doesn't support Flash.
That's a good question. A lot of sites allow you to specify the full version in the url. For example, YouTube uses http://www.youtube.com/?nomobile=1 to force the full version to load. I don't see a similar option for dtoid just from playing around, but if it doesn't exist, it shouldn't be too hard to implement.
Pointing your finger, and swaying it 2 or 3 times usually gets the job done.
