Hey guys! And girls of course. (gotta be politically correct these days) *wink* Anyway, as stated, i'd like to know what phones have a full html browser, or at least a really good browser, apart from smartphones. Thanks!

Yes. There is a browser. Infact probably several. I use Opera Mini which is supported by Java on the K750i. Excellent piece of software that is only supposed to be available in certain parts of Europe. If you google it, you'll be able to find a jar file which you can install on your phone and away you go. If you have an older phone, ensure you install the smaller version of the application.
Opera mini is very fast. Infact due to the way it accesses pages from a main server, it is faster than the symbian version of the application on a Nokia smartphone I had before.
Good luck

No current non smartphone i know of has a fully capable internal browser. (correct if wrong!!)
BUT
A java capable handset can use opera mini which i believe is an excellent browser for non smartphones.
Also, i believe some of the new phones announced by
(non smartphones) will be having Netfront (a web browser for phones) pre-installed.
Pretty cool!

Non smart phones have xhtml browsers. Apart from opera, many other java based browsers like pocket web are also available.

I've actually tried some browsers that i downloaded from getjar.com, but it seems like there's some kinda configuration for data access i need that my service provider doesn't have. Hopefully opera mini doesn't require it. Does it?

opera mini requires the opera/operator proxy for downloading. the proxy pre-convert html pages to opera format. The phone opera mini program download these converted pages from proxy and display it.
Opera mini is good only for viewing html pages. You cannot really interact with it like a full browser.

you can interact with it, it isnīt just for viewing
you cannot make downloads though, but that is just a matter of time...if they make a version for phones with jsr 75, like k750, files will be downloadable with opera mini
