Yup - the 9110 has had a HTML browser for many years and the 9210 works 
to. The 7650 is a bit too tight with memory to use Opera really (you 
have to remove EVERYTHING else), but 3650 is fine and I assume the 
upcoming 6600 is too (I'll probably get a pre-ex next week).

So basically, it is possible with some phones, but not with most. 
Personally I agree with Mika and therefore select my phone with care, 
but most people without a clue are stuck with WAP (and hence mostly do 
not use it).
