Does anyone know if this will run J2ME software?
- pavlov 12y agoApparently it doesn't, and this is surprising to me because Nokia's Series 30 platform did support Java apps since around 2003. But these new "Series 30+" phones are not based on the old Nokia OS any more. Instead they use a completely different feature phone platform licensed from MediaTek, and it doesn't seem to include Java ME at all (probably to save on license costs).
- mschuster91 12y agoNow that's news. Let's wait until it comes out and let's see if spFlashTool is compatible with it (or, at least, compatible enough for a ROM dump)...
- huttarl 12y agoCan you cite a reference for "apparently it doesn't", and for the point that the "new Series 30+ phones are not based on the old Nokia OS any more"? Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_30 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_30) calls Series 30+ "a little version upgrade of Series 30 platform" but I have no idea if that's true. If so, it would suggest that Series 30+ would support J2ME: the contrary would be surprising, as you said. Thanks.

This info comes from poster Abi99, who seems to be a highly regarded member with over 11,000 posts on the official forums: "The Nokia 220 is — after the Nokia 108 — the second phone from Nokia which uses MediaTek Feature Phone MAUI as operating system, called Nokia Series 30+." "The new Nokia Series 30+ platform (MediaTek) does not allow to add apps."
