If its anything like the SH51, I think it is not generally possible to use 
the SD card for Java transfers. The 51 (and probably others like it) permits 
Java programs to be transferred to a SD and in doing so, the phone sets up a 
directory & encrypted file structure. It seems to me if you were privy to 
J-PHONE's scheme, it may be possible to put your own apps on the card and be 
readable by the phone. Maybe being a preferred developer or something like 
that might give you SD slot access - I don't know.

Regards

Michael.
