"Before 2007, using the internet on your phone would make you want to kill yourself, if you were dumb enough to believe the crap splattered across that tiny screen even was the "internet." But the combination of increased bandwidth and better mobile software means that more phones really are promising to deliver the real internet, in living color. We tested eight different browsers, and while some put smiles on our faces, others proved that rendering HTML correctly is a far cry from actually giving you an awesome web experience. And what about 3G vs. Wi-Fi? Everything the carriers have told you is a lie. This is the true state of mobile web."

Ive used many different mobile phones and devices when connecting to the internet, from nokia e61's, Sony P series and Microsoft WM and for me the iPhone and Safari and in a completely different league. Browsing the web on such a small device is not a problem, a lot of the safari crashes are fixed in 2.2, it's a real joy to use and is incredibly handy. Here in the uk one of our stores (Argos) allows you to reserve items in store (so you don't have to worry about selling out) and ive had no problem with the iphone doing this, hopefully other stores will catch on.
OSnews, various forums including neowin are easy to surf as is Microsoft OWA.
