Qualititative research (my buddy list) would suggest that what's selling =
people is the low-band applications and the GPS features - the Navitime =
mapping app especially (which was incidentally a pre-installed brew =
application - seems the C3003P has both brew and java).

haven't really heard anyone talk about with interest.
BTW there was an interesting presentation from KDDI's Ito at the Brew =
conf recently. The "kyara komyu" app (another brew app) has been getting =
something like a 50% conversion rate based on phone purchasers >> app =
subscribers.
