AZA-WIP

The AZA-WIP, or whatever you want to call this OEM, is on its way for QA and user acceptance testing. One of the biggest questions I currently have is how robust the Java VM is. Is it going to be like my sprint phone (single tasking), or can I run java apps in the background?

If its single tasking, then I can at least support some sort of web browser. If its background, then this is going to be one killer handset -- visions of Push-to-Talk, MMS, and other "helper" applications buzz in my head. Its even has some sort of side button and a speaker phone function.

Its J2ME...and the screen resolution is quite standard (176x220)...so support will be pretty much there without any serious modifications.

I am also pushing hard to try to find an SDK, whether for the J2ME or for native binary. This is going to be even more important if the "Message" feature turns out to be some voicemail indicator, and not a SIMPLE-based XML IM application, like the rest of the handsets out there.
