If you have a cell phone with mobile internet and you don’t like the web browser that comes with it, check out Opera Mini. They just released 4.1 last week and it is a solid improvement to an already excellent browser. Probably my favorite feature to be added was auto-completion when entering URLs, making the painful T9 text-entry process a bit faster.
Since I first started using Opera Mini a few months ago, one of my favorite features has to be Speed Dial - once you load up the browser (and I usually leave it running and minimized on my phone) you can hit two keys (* + number) and open up a site. Opera Link is pretty handy too, you can store and manage your bookmarks online and then sync them to Opera Mini (and I assume to Opera if you have it installed on your PC - I’ve never played with the PC version).
Check out this page for more details on Opera Mini’s features.

Most normal day-to-day cellphone users don’t know about Opera Mini and that’s pretty sad. I used it on my very pretty flip (before the iPhone) and it’s just so much better what with the cursor and all…
Now if only everyone knew about it it’d be so much more popular.
