Prob can't as they have some code on their site now that detects you are on Mobil safari and re-directs you.

Does the same for me. Just scroll all the way to the bottom and you'll see a link for the "regular site".

Oh... and not to dwell too much on the whole proper English thing.. but it's "revert" not "revert back". It's one of the few misuses that just drive me nuts.

That's like when football commentators call a play a "double reverse" when it's really just a reverse (or worse, just an end-around).

I think that all sites that provide an "iPhone-optimized" version should also provide a link to their conventional site.

Also, did you feel it was necessary to reply back about the use of revert back (where I live, people say that a lot, and it drives me nuts)?

Find a page that is only offered in the full version and bookmark it in Safari, then sync to your iPhone. That's how I've been getting around some of these mobile sites that detect my iPhone. VERY annoying.
