What counts is what you do with that 1GB of RAM. I always found Firefox Mobile to be resource hungry, even on 1GB Harmattan devices. I've had much better experiences with other web browsers on my 256MB N900. The Neo900 would be a huge improvement on that.

Plenty of 1GB Android and iOS devices also have decent web browsing experiences. Those browsers tend to unload background tabs from memory but they're certainly usable. As long as you are conscious of how you fill up your memory, you'll be fine.
