5) Press Set (See second screenshot)

Now you can browse the http://www.facebook.com full version.
this worked perfectly and it's a blessing, i hate the mobile facebook site and not having to look at stripped down mobile sites was half the reason i got this phone in the first place

So using the bookmark solution doesn't work that great, click on anyones pic, or goto someones page and click on the facebook link on the top left corner and you will notice that it just reloads the same page. Even with accessing the full site thru the touch/full version option eventually leads to issues, the only thing that works is the useragent solution. Ovi not working slight drawback, big drawback once the qt apps finally rock ovi with the new pr.

Funny that tear works great on my N810 with fb still, why is that?

Feeling really dumb in my huff and puff, and I misspelled version in the title of this thread. Final thoughts use the useragent fix, it is easy and works well, and bother fb to fix it, we all know there is zero logical reason for them to re-direct for the MicroB browser the way they are.

Just discovered this yersterday and it's really annoying! But the work around "www.facebook.com/home.php" works for me.

Not only does the ovi store stop working, but iplayer completely stopped working...

Not like it worked anyway (sound but no video) but when I changed user agent, I didn't even get sound.

I am on Voda UK (but via CPW). I have agent set to mozilla/5.0 (windows, u; windows nt 6.1; en-us). This keeps facebook happy and I can confirm that I can use the iPlayer workaround (pop-out full screen player) without problems - checked this yesterday after settign the agent; smooth video & perfect sound.
