Yes, they are not great, but I read on my Nokia E65 with Mobipocket while on the beach on holiday last week. The backlight had no effect, but the sunlight was reflecting of the backlight diffuser. It did mean that there were some odd colour patterns across the screen (from the light going in through one colour filter and out through another I suppose) but the black on white text was quite readable, and I read 3 books that way with no eye strain.
My wife's iLiad was much nicer to read in sunlight though, but it wasn't allowed on the beach (too sandy), only on the balcony.
