I'm not one, to be honest, to enjoy surfing the Web on a "mobile" web browser.
Why? It's limited.

As SCared mentioned, the DSi browser has a lack of Flash support, leaving many sites in the dust. Also, too many sites are diving into Ruby on Rails, AJAX, and other "Web 2.0" content… and Flash as well that makes a mobile web browser really incompatible with a site.

Even though it's Opera (and I do give a hand to Opera's development team for their work both with Nintendo and Opera Mobile for my Nokia), some stuff just won't work on a mobile site. Web developers try to adapt to a "mobile" web lifestyle but in my mind, it fails entirely with the advances and polishes of Web 2.0.
