I wish Nokia revamped the whole Series 30+ thing to support J2ME.
I know J2ME was not really good, but they managed to get something even worse. It's almost* impossible to develop applications to their new phones.
* http://mre.mediatek.com/ http://mre.mediatek.com/ is down for good since the start of 2017 and they announced that they would shutdown in 2015/12/31, so I don't think there's any official way to download the SDK.
- ASipos 10y agoNokia 3410 was a J2ME Series 30 phone.
- JD557 10y agoI know that the series 30, 40 and 60 supported J2ME, I'm talking specifically about the "new" series 30+[1]. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_30%2B https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_30%2B
- digi_owl 10y agoNot sure what good J2ME would do. Seems like it will ship with an integrated Opera Mini btw, as one of the press shots had that stylized O as one of the icons on screen.

- JD557 10y agoI believe that all series 30+ come with opera mini. The problem is that Opera mini is a MITM browser that does not handle neither real HTML nor WML. This makes it so that not only most web do not work, even web apps with old WML interfaces will also not work. So, some tasks, such as checking your e-mail or IM, are almost impossible. Note that if J2ME was supported, you would at least be able to install an e-mail/IM client (even if it was a shitty one).
- digi_owl 10y agoThe years i used the J2ME variant it served me just fine. But then i stayed away from the likes of gmail for the lonest time (and the featurephone i used had a perfectly usable email client built in). As for "IM", phones already have that. Its called SMS.
