In my S60Browser (on Nokia E71) that is possible.

The experience is, at least for me, that it Just Works and is good and fast enough while providing an adequate experience. I especially love the RSS integration in my Bookmarks. Knowing the shortcuts is very important to a quick experience. This counts for S60 itself as well, it isn't directly WebKit related.

That said, I believe WebKit will be able as option in Extras, and

1) I'd be happy if I would have the choice between both rendering engines unless either one together with a browser is Good Enough. Then you can have that default without the user bothering about rendering engine.

2) for that you need performance (stability, reliability, speed) and the UI very much optimized for the software and hardware (screen size, input options). Personally, I believe Fennec fill that role, but maybe not in time for Maemo 5.0-RELEASE.
