Google search on iPhone defaults to classic results

I'm a pretty experienced iPhone user (got it the day they came out), but I'm really frustrated.



Safari search (set to Google) defaults to Google's classic search results (NOT iPhone optimized).



When I go to www.google.com/m I can get the optimized results.



When I go to www.google.com/m at the bottom it shows:



Quote:

View Google in: Mobile



Yet it still defaults to Classic from the search bar in Safari.



I have tried when logged in and logged out. I have tried switching to Classic (in www.google.com/m) and back to Mobile. Nothing works.



Anyone have this problem? How can I fix it?



Any help or advice appreciated.

    Yes, I see the same thing. I guess I didn't think it was a problem because I didn't know about the optimized results. \

    yeah i was pretty disappointed that apple did not do anything about their built-in googler in safari, but obviously as an alternative you can set a bookmark on your home page, or do what i did, and just use the yahoo as the search engine and it gives you back optimized results. its not bad or anything, i just prefer google, but yahoo's search works just fine and is formatted for the iphone.
