Do Verizon phones also use Java? I thought they only used
BREW.
Here is what I found rooting around on phonescoop, for the V3M.

The primary component lets users download and run small software applications on wireless devices, including phones. Such applications might include games, expense tracking software, or interactive map tools. This component of BREW competes with J2ME, a Java technology from Sun Microsystems. BREW and Java are generally not compatible.
The BREW subsystem on a phone can also manage graphics and ringtones.
The BREW solution also includes a server component which resides on the network. The BREW server manages the network side of BREW downloads, including billing, and can also serve and bill for non- BREW applications and content. |
And if that is the case DBZ, you are not going to be loading any JAVA games onto that phone, not in this life time.

And it would seem that your phone is NOT one of those that does support more than one technology. I'm sure when they say that some do, they also mean HIGER END, meaning higher priced phones. But I have been wrong before.
