Both my current handset (BlackBerry Curve on T-Mobile) and my previous one (Sanyo MM-7500 on Sprint) supported "over the air" installation of 3rd-party J2ME apps. Many of the applications the poster described as not working (Google Maps, Opera Mini, etc.) worked just fine out of the box on both handsets. Sorry, but this was more whiny than informative.

Your experience is atypical. I've never used a phone (unlocked or carrier-issued) that enabled all the J2ME capabilities for an unsigned application. I've used SE 610, SE T637, SE K750, SE K790, Samsung D900, Nokia 6300. All of these phones are were well above average in capabilities (J2ME and otherwise) at the time I purchased them. But, the vast majority of the J2ME applications I tried to download were unusable for a variety of reasons.
