Minuet Browser, a new Java-based browser for phones
The Minuet Browser claims to fully support HTML without any transcoding proxy. Whether that's a good thing is arguable, as one of the major benefits of Opera Mini is that by using such a proxy it lessens the amount of data sent over the air, cutting download times and costs considerably. A benefit may though be that pages are rendered more correctly on the Minuet Browser (not saying that's the case), as Opera Mini only supports narrow/one-column rendering.
All versions are MIDlets, yet with some more functionality for PDAs/smartphones. E.g. to run it on a Palm, the IBM J9 JVM needs to be installed.
