you can now get AvantGo for the P800 and P900 devices, still a Beta according to the site. AvantGo is a cache / off-line browser allowing you to set up channels from existing content or create your own custom ones to provide you with mobile friendly content while out and about - the idea is to save you connection costs as you use your home ISP connection to sync the content onto your device for reading later (handy given our expensive GPRS costs) - it is also available for Series 60, Palm OS and Pocket PC devices...

to set up this Beta (NB: so backing up your device beforehand and installing at your own risk) with your P800/P900 if you don't have an account you can visit AvantGo, setting up a new account and navigate to Support | Downloads | Windows | Symbian UIQ, then following the set-up process
https://my.avantgo.com/login/index.html

if you already have an account, you can just login, download and install the file, then enter you existing account info and sync

you can sync using the Server Options when connected to your PC over a USB/IR/Bluetooth link via the Phone Connection Monitor app - a GPRS sync would likely work out expensive (depending on the number of channels you have set up) - best to just use the My Wireless feature of AvantGo or stick with the Opera browser and PDA/Mobile Friendly sites when using GPRS

just gave it a sync over BT, not too fast but did the job - handy full screen mode - the camera button seems to have been commandeered as a 'back' button in full screen (although the jog-dial 'push away' may have been more appropriate):
