Yes, but you have to install them.
There's firefox 3 mobile (doesn't work well [crashes], still being worked on).
Firefox 3 via Debian (requires installing Debian
Konquerer via KDE (install KDE)
links2 (very simplified web browser, no css).
Most require installing another environment though. So I wouldn't say it's really for OS2008 (well you install the environment or OS on top of OS2008, though you load them and they kill OS2008 till you stop them to revert back)

Yes, but they all suck compared to MicroB.

Once microb increases in speed and get some of the zoom functionality that Firefox has, it will be really nice.

Actually, links2 is fully graphical. It does not have css and does not support plugins (flash being the biggie for people).

Well, yeah, but it's still that class of browser. Almost anyone who'd find it useful would have been asking "Do we have a graphics-enabled build of links, or maybe Dillo?"; actually, they'd probably have just found and installed it.

Fennec from Mozilla is very promising. As of now it is not very stable and does not have an onscreen keyboard (so no fun for n800 users) but if it is started from the terminal then it works well. No flash yet but it is firefox3 in your pocket. Plus Mile stone 6 is planed to be out next week, then the first Alpha the flowing month!

There is also Midori and an old Opera for Os2008. I believe the link for the opera has disappeared though.
