Before leaving the office a few days ago, I was able to use an officemate's Nokia E61. To make a long story short, the E61's browser blew me away. Never have I used such a powerful and user-friendly mobile browser.
The fact that the browser preserves a web page's original layout is already a big thing, but it also adds easy navigation to the mix. The E61's five-way joystick controls a "mouse" pointer of sorts, which is a lot better than simply toggling through a page's links. And of course, you can set the zoom to control how much content you'll see on-screen.
If the browser senses that you want to scroll over long distances, it pops-up a thumbnail of the web page, with a red rectangle representing what you're currently looking at. This allows you to scroll freely, without losing track of where you are exactly on the page. The E61 also provides a browsing experience that is familiar to desktop users, thanks to its compatibility to desktop web standards.
To make a long story short, the E61's Mobile Browser is the best I've ever used. People who simply need Wi-Fi on their gadget should consider getting the Nokia E61.

I had the S60 Browser on the N80. (WiFi in another package) It does crash on some sites, maybe due to Javascript.

True. The Mini-Map browser (http://www.nokia.com/browser)
has some flaws, but it's definitely better than Blazer! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blazer_%28web_browser%29)
Lol.
