Dolphin seems to be the most popular browser. It seems better than the 
native one.

I bought a cheap sim free Android 2.2 phone off a Chinese website for 
£80 primary so I could play with Android. I'm really pleased with it as 
it has 2 sim slots so I can use my normal sim and a giffgaff sim for 
cheap data use. It even has analogue TV with an extendible aerial.

Unfortunately it only does gprs but I use BTFon wireless which is faster 
than 3G in most places.
