Best Phone for web browsing

I remember seeing some incredible stats on AppleInsider a couple of months ago. Something like 50% of all mobile ad requests worldwide come from iPhones.

The iPhone and iPod Touch account for around 30% with the iPhone being around 17% by itself, though of course both use the same browser which definitely is the best browser on a mobile device.

- iPhone and iPod Touch are still the Kings. Between them, the devices had 16.8 million unique users on AdMobs network, and accounted for 30% of all ad requests
- That figure is actually down slightly from last month. Apple lost 1.4% of the total ad share. Samsung was the biggest gainer, adding 0.9% to its requests, for a total of 11.1% of the global share.
- In terms of actual handsets, the iPhone dropped slightly from 18.6% to 17% of the global share. The iPod Touch actually picked up a little going from 12.8% to 13.1%
- The ratio of iPhones compared to iPod Touches sold globally is remaining steady at around 2 to 1. Apple claims the actual figures are 26.4 million iPhones 18.6 million iPod touches
 
iPhone - you don't realize you are browsing on a phone. They've put a lot of work into it. Check out how it renders SharePoint sites for instance.

If you have to use another phone, I suggest giving the native browser a skip and installing Opera Mini. It managed to make the internet usable when I was using a Nokia E71 and the BlackBerry Bold, both of whose native browsers suck.

+1 Opera Mini
 
iPhones 3G/s browser is the best by miles but the data charges are incredible.
Blackberry Bold 9700 with Opera Mini or Bolt is probably second plus browsing is free and you get BBM
