When is reverse thrust activated upon landing?

Hi all I have another question!

On another forum I am a member of a member of it has stated the following "I also forgot to say that you should have engaged reverse thrust before your front wheel was on the ground.". This si advice obviously upon landing.

My question is simple is that really true? Do aircraft activate the Reverse thrust before all wheels are on the ground?

My common held belief is all wheels have to be on the ground before any form of breaking is initiated.

Thanks,
Colin

I will add the forum is a simulation forum.
