Although such luminaries would take the time to answer my questions is
another question.

I leave those complicated marketing concepts to you MT. ;-)
As for spam on J-Phone, oh yes there is, I got a load last year. Dried
up since Christmas, and then just started again yesterday. It's an
evolutionary arms race of spammers versus carriers.
Okay, so J-Phone wants a restricted set of midlets. I guess I'll lump it
(as opposed to liking it).
However it seems like there might be a little sweetner in there. It's
rumoured (care of JavaHz) that the next J-Phones will allow the user to
upload java applis from their PCs to their handsets. I'll believe it
when I have it running in front of me, but if true it would be a big
step forward. Now all we need on top of that is bluetooth, and no one
will be able to stop my fiendish plans for taking over the universe
MUHAHAHAHA.
