Agreed that a UID is the best (only) way to maintain session state.
X-UP-SUBNO and DoCoMo's unique subscriber ID (for those lucky enough to
have access to it), are useful for maintaining content personalization
beyond the session.

We normally use a simple counter from our DB table to generate the UID
although you may want to throw some encryption at this before attaching
it to a URL.

Jimmy,
 
Supporting the 3 different phone systems from a single application is
problematic for this and other reasons.  If you also try to support
Palm, PocketPC h", DotI as well it gets even worse as there are almost
no consistancies.
The only sure way to maintain a session is produce a unique ID yourself
and append it to the URL.
 
We have this code as part of a product we base all our projects upon,
it's called mIntadev. We currently have built it on JSP/Java, ASP
(sortof) and are working on a PHP version. 
 
At some time in the future we will release it as Open Source, but at the
moment its still a bit 'industrial'.
However, I'm happy to give you (or selected others that would like it)
the code parts you require, or the whole application on a trail licence
basis. 
 
E-mail me directly or call the office during the week 03 5549 2830
 
Regards,
David Davies
