A BREW Java VM would be really cool. I'll have to keep an eye out for that.
I can't even get my T720 to change its home page to anything but openwave,
even from the maintenance menu. To the providers, it's all about protecting
their revenue stream, not providing flexibility to the end user.
Yeah, it's the T720 that's J2ME and BREW - I don't know about any of the
other models. And really the BREW thing is my only big complaint with
Verizon. I had AT&T before and wound up paying a lot more.
Location based services will undoubtedly happen sooner or later, though you
can count on the providers squeezing you for every penny they can get if
they're going to let you do something new and useful with the phone. I've
also heard they're testing units in Australia that can do pointing as well
as geolocation - just point your phone at a movie theater and get their
webpage automatically, for instance. Or play Doom and shoot at other
subscribers. I think I'll keep that in mind when I build my
remotely-operated paintball mortar system. =]
