Only my personal view here, but I've found it useful as long as you only stick to certain sites. Both The BBC and The Register have sites which display nicely on small screens, and the Opera mobile browser improves things. I've quite happily read the news in a boring five or ten minutes while waiting for someone.

Real web surfing is painfully slow though, partly due to the hassle of typing in urls. I also can't use email as my provider blocks anything but traffic on port 80 which is a bit annoying.
