The N900 already features one of the best pocket browsing experiences we’ve ever seen, but it looks to be getting a whole lot better today with the beta release of Firefox 1.1.

Oh, and if you don’t have an N810 or N900 handy and you’re amped to play around, you can download the little guy for Windows, Mac OS, or Linux, too.

Support right at this time is limited to S60 5th Edition — that is, touch-enabled Symbian devices — with both in-browser and standalone Silverlight apps available for the taking. It’s just a beta right at this time, so don’t have too much faith in the stability or feature-completeness of this thing — but it’s a start.
