Are there any non-smart phones that support java apps?

by QLucas091 - 3/10/12 6:47 AM

I had a RAZR V3xx and it had awesome support for java games. you could go online and download an game and it would work great. I've had several non-smart phones since and they aren't compatible with anything unless you get it from the service provider.

Oxymoron or similar.

Since we need a CPU and more to be able to run a Java interpreter and manage a file system that allows you to install apps, you have crossed the line to smart phones in one step.

How else would you run code without a smarter phone?

What I think your real question is what phones allow downloads (be it Java, Brew, Bada or such languages) you might be asking for phones that have downloads but avoid the current scourge of all charges called "the data plan."

But then I would be guessing that was the real question.

Oxymoron is not that at all.

And no reflection on the OP. If I offended anyone will always apologize as something is always lost in translation.

You explained it perfectly 'phones that have downloads but avoid the current scourge of all charges called "the data plan' thats what i meant exactly.
i liked how the razr v3xx was compatible with pretty much any .jar file and nothing else has been like that since but i guess since smart phones are so accessible now its pretty much a mute point!

I mention a Virgin Mobile 99 buck android phone a lot. I wouldn't if it wasn't for the 35 buck a month plan and that's what my son has. I may be joining him next year.
