yes, big issue, japan vs europe.

my understanding - from a distance - is that a lot of the more recent
phones support WAP bookmarks being sent by sms (wap push maybe). this is
how people are selling java games. you pay for a premium sms and get
back a 'bookmark' (which is basically a clickable link) to go DL the game.

it seems like a non-standard thing tho, supported phone by phone, and
you never know what phone you are sending to. with MMS there is a back
and forth device-caps discovery loop.

Can anyone recommend a list like keitai-L for European Qs like this?
(hey, and i guess there are at least 5 ppl in the US who have sent an
SMS now too)
