Mobile optimised websites are nice but it happens too often that they omit some crucial functionality.
Is there a way how to cheat the browser detection or force-load the desktop version of any website?

(make sure you press the "go" button, not search)Dolphin Browser Mini has a setting in the tools menu that is an easy way to switch between user-agents. It includes viewers for:
Android (default)
Desktop
iPhone
iPad
plus, it works much faster than the stock browser!
The recent version of Opera Mobile (11.1) also includes the User Agent option (mobile / desktop) see: Settings/Advanced/User Agent
Type about:useragent
in the address bar then simply choose Desktop.
Couldn't be easier!
Note that this doesn't work for all devices, see How can I change the user agent for the stock browser?
You can select the user-agent on both android tablets and android phones, it's in the settings menu :-)
