Everytime I go online it views in mobile format. One reason I got this phone was to surf the internet like I would on a computer. I have looked in settings but no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You are right to most pages do have that option, but like gamespot.com it does not and I dislike their mobile page and other pages don't have that option as well. I was hoping somewhere in the setting like on my htc had where I could control it.

Most pages have a link at the bottom to 'full version'. They detect your UserAgent string and serve you pages based on that, so it's up to the page to allow you to view desktop mode. Some browsers support passing a false UserAgent (example, Dolphin) that forces desktop mode. You can try that too. Download DolphinHD and go into Settings > User Agent, then choose 'Desktop'. This will usually force the page to serve desktop content.
Hope this helps!

For the built in browser there may be an option to check to view full site instead of always landing in mobile view

There is not, however many websites detect the Android version and give you the desktop view. A lot don't. But there is no UserAgent spoof in the default browser. OperaMini and Dolphin are the only ones I know of which currently allow it.
But as I stated earlier, most sites have a link at the bottom and they do remember your preference if you have cookies enabled.

Incorrect... There IS a way to do this in the native Android browser!... Open the browser and type "about:debug" in the address bar... now when you get to menu > More > Settings, you will see a new group of settings (below the Advanced settings)-- Change the setting "UAString" to "Desktop."
