Yes, more searching yesterday and last night I found a site that stated
j2me is on the phone with version of such.  I found out that the v8 was
Linux, the v9 is based on the Synergy OS.  

Thanx to everyone that replied...it was all helpful!  8)

This is from this site 
(http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,2170162,00.asp?kc=PCRSS05079TX1K0000996).

  The last sentence leads me to believe that, yes, Java works.

"Sprint's top-of-the-line feature phone looks and feels luxurious, and

playing Sprint TV on the front screen is a fun trick. What's
astonishing 
is that there are no included e-mail applications and some Java
programs 
could be more stable."

And here (http://www.mobileburn.com/review.jsp?Id=3372&rfp=dta), the 
table @ the bottom shows Java = Yes.

It's not surprising 'cause @ Linux world this year they had a HUGE 
booth.  And all the SDK stuff they were showing off was for Java 
development.  Not for native on-the-phone-Linux devel.

Hope this helps,
