Opera Mobile

I greatly enjoyed The Register's Andrew Orlowski's review of Nokia's own mobile browser on the Nokia E70...:

A special circle of Hell needs to be created for the souls behind Nokia's new web browser. This is the fruit of the decision to develop an alternative to Opera Mobile based on the KHTML engine used by KDE's Konquerer and Apple's Safari. The kindest thing to say is that it makes for a great demo, showing off stamp-sized portions of full web pages in their glorious colour.

At least they probably have good parties in hell...

Seems like more and more people are realizing that not only is the KHTML browser not very good; it makes for a very bad user experience in terms of navigation. Once the initial wow factor of its full page view and mini map has settled, using the browser for Web browsing is really a slow and awkward experience. I have it on my new Nokia N73, and I have really tried to use it, but it simply takes too much work. So I use Opera Mini for the speedy Web checks and Opera Mobile for the heavier stuff, like banking and booking tickets.

But I guess in hell you have all the time in the world hell, so the browser doesn't really have to be fast, nor does it have to be user friendly. After all, hell is supposed to be... well... hell.
