O2 in Ireland went relatively big into imode and it actually had decent uptick among local stuff. But then GPRS came about and phones started shipping sort of functional J2ME browsers that could do the "real web" and that was that. Opera Mini also was a big leap up in capabilities compared to the Sony Ericsson built in browse I was using on the k750i. Both in terms of compatibility and also the compressing reverse proxy stuff they did when data was being charged per megabyte.
