[olug] Slightly OT: Motorola razr2 v9m

[Cesar Delgado]

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,
