Faster proxy web browsing

I am having trouble finding info about how to setup a proxy for web browsing. I would like to setup a proxy or find an existing one (free or not) that reformats/downsizes html and images for the small screen so that the pages load quicker.

I notice that Netfront has a proxy setting. I know the browser itself already does this but it would be a lot quicker if it was done before all that data has to be sent via GPRS.

Palmone has WebPro that does exactly this. It works awesome on the Treo 600 (this is actually the main reason I still keep the Treo even though I prefer my P900). It is the fastest browser I have ever used via GPRS. It resizes the images and html at the proxy server. This way you only have to receive a much smaller page that is at least 10 times faster in comparison versus when I turn off the proxy.

Any info or leads?

Thanks-

Anyone familiar with WebPro for Treo 600 or any Palm version know if a fast proxy browser such as WebPro is available for P900? Or any OS handheld besides Palm based?

Thanks-

I guess I am looking for something similar to reqwireless, but one that has java script support....
